Our school prides itself on its outstanding examination record, with high marks at all levels.

Once again our graduating students have been able to pursue the higher education plans of their choice. Students have entered the following universities:

In Spain:  ICADE in Madrid, La Laguna  and Salamanca

In the UK:  Brunel, City (London), Glasgow, Imperial College (University of London), Kent, Leicester, Sheffield and Warwick.

How do our results compare?

In the most recent examination session in May/June of 2008 students at the IBYS achieved the following level of success:

38.4% of all GCSE entries were awarded a grade of A* or A.
47.6% of all A level entries were awarded a grade of A or B.

In the UK, secondary schools from both the independent and state sectors report their examination results so that league tables can be created.  The Parent Power set is published by the Sunday Times and can be found at http://www.timesonline.co.uk/parentpower/league_tables.php
The tables currently on view are based on examination performance in 2007.

If we look at the category of top 50 independent secondary schools (no/small sixth form) our recent results are comparable to those reported for 2007 by Rookwood School, Andover, ranking at number 27.  Considering only mixed schools on this list, Rookwood ranked at 9 out of 22 such schools.

Rankings for the top 500 independent secondary schools are based on a combination of A level and GCSE performances.  Our recent results are comparable to those reported for 2007 by the Durham School, ranking at number 429.

Our supportive and small-school environment contributes greatly to student success.
