IB Results Day 2019

'Pupils at King Edward’s School, Birmingham are celebrating after receiving top marks in the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma. The maximum score of 45 points was gained by three boys, Yifei Chen, Anyi Wang and Dominic Wong, a score achieved by less than 0.5% of students worldwide out of over 160,000 IB students in total. A further 12 scored either 44 or 43 points and 40% of the cohort of 103 attained scores of 40 points or above, with the average score being 37.8 points. Over half of the year group achieved grades of 7 or 6 in all three of their Higher Level subjects, the equivalent to three A*/A at A-level. Keith Phillips, Acting Chief Master, said: “These are excellent results, which once again place King Edward’s amongst the very best IB schools in the world, and I am delighted for both the boys and their teachers.'
