Dwight School London Outperforms Global Benchmarks with Stellar 35-Point IB Average, Equating to 3 As at A Level

Dwight School London, a leading independent international school in North London, is celebrating an outstanding set of International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme results. Demonstrating academic excellence on both a national and global stage, this year’s graduating cohort achieved a remarkable average diploma score of 35 points—traditionally equated by UCAS tariff guides to a clean sweep of AAA at A Level.

Amidst a highly competitive international landscape, the school's commitment to personalised learning has yielded standout individual performances. Four exceptional Dwight students crossed the elite 40-point threshold, with the school’s top-performing student securing an extraordinary 43 points out of a maximum 45—placing them in the top tier of IB candidates globally.

Reflecting Dwight’s deeply rooted global vision, five students successfully earned Bilingual Diplomas, demonstrating native or near-native academic proficiency in two or more languages.

The strength of these results has translated directly into world-class higher education placements. Graduating students have securely confirmed destinations at some of the UK’s most prestigious Russell Group institutions and premier global universities, including:

• University of Oxford
• University of Warwick
• University of Bristol
• King’s College London
• University of British Columbia (Canada)

"Igniting the Spark of Genius"
Chris Beddows, Head of School at Dwight School London, expressed his pride in the cohort's achievements:

"These results are a magnificent testament to our students’ resilience, intellectual curiosity, and hard work over the last two years. To achieve an average that equates to AAA at A Level proves that our non-selective, highly personalised approach to education empowers every individual to reach their highest potential.

Whether our graduates are heading to Oxford, remaining in the UK's top Russell Group universities, or travelling across the Atlantic to the University of British Columbia, they leave Dwight as culturally savvy, independent thinkers prepared to make a meaningful difference in the world."

The school's success is particularly distinct given its non-selective admissions policy, proving that an academically rigorous curriculum like the IB Diploma can thrive in an environment that prioritises student well-being and a supportive, holistic community.
