Wellington’s 2022 leavers achieved outstanding IB results!

The results of the 2022 International Baccalaureate (IB) exams have been released, and, once again, our graduating class have given an outstanding performance with an average score of 39.1 (out of a maximum of 45), well above the global average of 31.9. This is our highest yet!

Moreover, over half of our 2022 leavers achieved scores of 40 or higher. Six earned scores of 43+, and one pupil even achieved a perfect score of 45!

“I am delighted for our Class of 2022,” said Head of Senior School Ewan McCallum. “They have met far more than their fair share of challenges this year, and nevertheless achieved excellent outcomes. I know they will all go on to do great things!” 

Head of Sixth Form Martin O’Brien added: “Despite extremely difficult circumstances, our pupils have collectively achieved Wellington’s best-ever result. We now have some amazing pupils going to amazing destinations, such as Cambridge, Duke, Dartmouth, UCL and more. They will be studying a broad range of subjects, such as law, biochemistry and visual and performing arts.”

The IB has a reputation for being challenging, and that is because it is challenging, but this is only one small part of the programme's inherent value. The course expects a lot of our pupils. The citywide distance learning mandate related to the recent pandemic resurgence has made this experience an even greater challenge and our leavers’ success even more remarkable. Congratulations to our Class of 2022 on a job well done!
