The Top 30 International Baccalaureate Schools
by average points per pupil

In this section we give you our own assessment of the Top 30 IB Schools in the UK for 2009. These positions are compiled from the average points of sixth formers taking the Diploma Programme of the IB. Note that the IB is still a relatively new qualification for UK schools and many have not been offering it sufficiently long to publish results. The International Baccalaureate Organisation refuses to publish results and we have had to collect these statistics by asking each school individually.

Click on the name of a school to find out its type, contact details, day or boarding and the annual fees.

Use the links in the right column to select how you would like sort the Top 30 IB senior schools.

Note.1. There are a few gaps in our data, because the information is not freely available or a school will not supply it or it has not offered the IB for long enough to have DP results. For those schools who refuse to supply data, we have to assume they are lower graded schools.

Note 2. Exam results are not the only criteria by which to judge a school (read our eGuide on selection factors click here). Indeed some of the schools in this TOP 30 table are quite selective on their admissions. Be aware your child may not necessarily thrive in a high pressure academic environment – take advice.
