IB Results 2025

Enormous congratulations to the IB class of 2025 who have posted the best IB results in the School’s history outside the covid years.

90% of all grades were achieved at 7 – 5 (equivalent to A* to B at A Level), up from 78% at this point last year, with an impressive 60% at the very highest levels of 7/6 (A*/A), up from 47% last year.

A third of the cohort achieved 38 points or more. To put that into context, it is the level required for admission to the University of Oxford. One pupil achieved the perfect score of 45 points, a feat achieved by less than 0.2% of IB candidates worldwide, with a further 12 achieving 40 points or more, which equates to a string of A*/A grades at A Level.

With results day occurring on a Sunday, universities are still catching up on confirming places, but we are already aware of pupils securing places to read Applied Medical Sciences at UCL, Physics at Durham University, War Studies at KCL, Architecture at Newcastle University, PPE at the University of Edinburgh, Politics and International Relations at Bristol University, Philosophy at the University of Leeds, 3D Animation and Visual Effects at the University of Chichester, Acting at the Oxford School of Drama and International Relations at the University of St Andrews, demonstrating, as always, the extraordinary breadth of academic interests at Teddies.

Beyond the UK, IB pupils will go on to take up places at Duke, Northwestern, Washington and Pepperdine in the USA, and at European universities, including the EU Business School in Spain, the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Italy and at the prestigious Sciences Po in Paris.

Alastair Chirnside, the Warden, said,

‘I am absolutely delighted with these results, and I congratulate our pupils and their teachers on the immense amount of hard work they did over the last two years to secure them. When David Flower, the Sub-Warden Academic, and I joined St Edward’s in 2021, we made no secret of the fact that we wanted to harness the School’s academic ambition to create the best possible learning environment and to enable the best possible outcomes for our pupils. It is very pleasing to see that that these plans are now starting to come to fruition.’
