Windermere School’s Class of 2024 received their International Baccalaureate (IB) results including outstanding individual Diploma results and an exceptional performance by the whole cohort of students taking the vocational Business course on the IB Career Pathway.

“We are proud of all our Year 13 students’ efforts and achievements today,” said Head, Frank Thompson. “We are a small school so to have four of our Diploma students score over 40 points (equivalent to 4 A* at A level) is fantastic. Out of a maximum score of 45, Greg gained 44 points and Katerina the maximum score of 45. This is truly exceptional.”

“We also have a thriving Career Pathway with 89% of our students this year achieving a double Distinction (DD) in BTEC Business. The great success of these students will give our new Sixth Form students a real boost as they prepare to start their vocational pathway in Business or our new Adventure course next term.”

The IB Diploma and Career pathways prepare students for a wide range of university courses and this year these include Engineering, Veterinary Medicine, Philosophy, Politics and Economics, Chemistry, Theology, and Computer Science at Russell Group universities UCL, Edinburgh, Leeds, York and Exeter as well as St Andrew’s and Lancaster Universities. Over the last three years, 81% of our Sixth Form students gained access to their first-choice university.

More students these days are opting to gain their degree through following an apprenticeship and we are delighted that Laura, who performed strongly in the IB Diploma, has gained an Apprenticeship with Airbus UK.

These exceptional results not only highlight the hard work and dedication of our students but also underscore the quality of education and support provided at Windermere School. We are immensely proud of their achievements and excited about their bright futures.
