EDUCATION & SCHOOLS
IB, “Higher Education institutions and employers alike are telling us we need young people who can collaborate, communicate and think critically while creating new knowledge. Research suggests that an IB diploma prepares students with these skills.”

Students at both Cobham (16 per cent) and Egham (more than one-third) were awarded 38 points or above, out of a maximum of 45. Hillingdon achieved a 100 per cent pass rate, with an average score of 31 points, while nine per cent of students were awarded 38 points or above.

Dr Chrissie Sorenson, school director and executive board of BIS says, “Our philosophy is not primarily about grades, but about the overall development of each child and the individual approach to each character.”
