REMARKABLE RESULTS,
DISTINCTIVE EDUCATION,
OUTSTANDING OUTCOMES

Our IB Diploma results are consistently high, with 100% pass rate, and a 3-year average points score of 35, significantly higher than the world average of 30.

Typically, 90% of students score above this, and we regularly have students achieve the maximum IB score of 45, placing them in the top 1% globally.

These results are particularly impressive given that St Clare’s is a semi-selective school – we select on motivation and potential, while also placing a high value on students’ wider contributions to the school community, alongside their academic achievement. Every student completes the full IB Diploma, making our high average and 100% pass rate a true testament to the strength of our teaching and the ambition, resilience, and commitment of our students.

These results illustrate our successes over the last 3 years (2023-2025) from 312 students:

"At St Clare’s, you are surrounded by like-minded people; everyone here is destined for success, and that becomes your new source of extra motivation and helps you achieve even more."
Sofija IB 2025

"Everyone just motivates each other to work together and work harder to achieve what we can and do our best. I think that supportive environment has allowed me to develop as an independent and confident learner."
Pak San Hong Kong, IB24

"The teachers are amazing at St Clare’s. They are incredibly dedicated and the work that they put in is like so often just above and beyond what they need to. Because you have classes that are quite small, you can get a really close connection with your teachers where you can send them a lot of work that you've done, and they can give feedback on it."
Herbie UK, IB24

"I would highly recommend other students to come here - everything is good. The lessons are taught in a different way, and teachers are very supportive. The classes are small, so you can build strong relationships with both your teachers and your classmates. The facilities are great and really enhance the learning experience. Overall, it’s a great environment."
Sara Spain, IB25

There are several reasons why our students consistently make more academic progress here than they would at most other IB schools in the UK:

Challenge

Everyone in our community is united by one key motivation: to be challenged and step beyond comfort zones in pursuit of growth, independence, and self-discovery. High expectations shape how we approach learning, encouraging intellectual curiosity, academic achievement, and open-minded future aspirations. Our students are driven to challenge both themselves and their goals to be the most globally aware and academically ambitious version of themselves, understanding that success and aspiration take different forms for different people.

Teaching

Our teachers have unrivalled experience and specialist knowledge of the IB programme: many are IB examiners; involved in the development of the IB curriculum; write and are involved in the production of the IB textbooks; and teach IB teachers (link to Teacher Training home page) from around the world. In addition to their subject expertise, our teachers pay close attention to creating friendly, collaborative learning environments that support happy, confident and engaged students.

Learning

Learning takes place in small classes, where each student receives individualised support and guidance tailored to their personal strengths and goals. Learning is collaborative and interactive, with varied opportunities for class discussions, group work, as well as individual practical and written assignments. Students are encouraged to take an active role in their learning whilst benefitting from the support of classmates and tutors in a shared teaching environment.

Facilities

Our experience and expertise are enhanced by our beautiful campus of 28 buildings, home to many academic resources, including well-equipped science laboratories, art studio, music studio, and modern teaching spaces. Our large university-level library is a fantastic resource for students, offering well equipped study spaces and access to a broad range of materials, such as books in a variety of languages, journals, e-books and online databases.
