PUPILS at King Edward's School in Witley have been celebrating their successes, after publication of the results for the IB Diploma Programme last month.

King Edward's abandoned traditional A-Levels altogether in 2010, and the entire final year of the school's sixth form took the alternative qualification.

From students with a broad spread of ability and talent, the school's points average was 32, well above the global average of 29.8 – out of 45 – and 72 per cent of individual subject scores were the equivalent of an A*, A or B at A-Level.

That was 20 per cent above the national average.

Pupils will now be heading to top UK institutions - including Oxford University, Edinburgh University and University College, London, as well as several universities overseas, in September.
