IB Diploma Results

Southbank's class of 2008 have produced the best set of IB Diploma Programme results in the history of the School.

We had a 95% pass rate with an average score of 35.0 points. These results put us above the world average pass rate of approximately 82%. This year's results are also significantly above our average score of 32.1 points over the past 20 years.

Seven of our students scored 40 points or higher and two students achieved 43 points. 13 students were awarded Bi-lingual Diplomas.

We are extremely proud of our pass record. There is no written entrance exam for admission to Southbank, yet our IB scores challenge those of the UK's top independent/selective schools. This year, Southbank is one of the top three schools in the UK: in The Times 2008 UK IB Schools League Table, we are ranked 3rd. We are also ranked 3rd in The Independent's UK Independent Schools League Table.
