BISC Public Examination Results 2009

Introduction

We are very pleased with our public examination results, which are in line with the standard of the last two year’s successes at GCSE and IB. They represent a significant achievement for the fourth year in succession: the fulfillment of four years of hard work and a foundation for future educational success. Our IB students leave us to take up their places at some of the best universities in the world, and our GCSE pupils move on to scale new academic heights at BISC. Our success at GCSE and IB is one reason why our Sixth Form continues to grow even though we are not compromising on the entry standard.  

Headline Summary

IB and GCSE results for 2009 emulate our best results on record, as shown:  

Table 1

Our best student achieved 42 points and 9/37 (24%) students achieved world class marks of 40 points or more, putting them amongst the top 3% of IB students.

At IB, our ISI inspection of November 2008 revealed that when compared over the past 3 years with all IB World schools we rank in the 2^nd category out of 7 with all of our subjects ranking well above average. This year’s results continue to uphold that position.

Table 2

At GCSE, 3 students achieved 10 A*s and 5 students achieved straight A* - A grades, representing 16% of the new Year 12. This is our target group for Oxbridge and Ivy League universities.

At GCSE, our ISI inspection of November 2008 revealed that, when compared over the past 3 years with all maintained schools in England, we rank in the 1^st category out of 7 with all of our subjects ranking above average and most ranking in the top category. The results of 2009 maintain this position.
