St Clare's IB Class of 2026 Celebrates Outstanding Results
St Clare's is proud to celebrate another year of exceptional International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) results, alongside an impressive range of university destinations for the Class of 2026.
The 2026 cohort achieved an average IB score of 35.4 points, significantly above the global average of 30.9, continuing St Clare's tradition of academic excellence.
Nearly a quarter of students achieved 40 points or more, with an outstanding 13 students scoring 43 or more out of maximum of 45 points, placing them among the highest-performing IB students worldwide. More than half of the cohort achieved 36 points or above, equivalent to AAA at A Level.
