These results mean a lot to me; they are really encouraging and I'm proud of them, as they reflect the time and effort I dedicated to the IB. The IB helped me tremendously in deciding my course and future occupation, as it not only gave me the option to take on more subjects, but also, to explore them in a much greater depth than I had ever imagined through things such as the extended essay and internal assessments.”Joe Davies, Haileybury’s headmaster said, “Congratulations to all of our IB Diploma pupils for their well-earned results, which are testament to their hard work and effort. We are very proud of everything they have achieved and wish them lots of luck for the next chapter of their lives beyond Haileybury.”Joss Jennings, Acting Deputy Head (Academic) said, “Well done to all our pupils for their IB results. A 36.1 points average is the equivalent of 68 per cent A*/A at A Level and means that most of our pupils will be going to top universities around the world. Such success only comes after two years of focussed work by our pupils, and they have also been aided by the outstanding Haileybury community who offer support in so many different ways. Our pastoral system plays a key role in supporting and encouraging our young people, and the co-curricular provision allows them to contribute significantly outside of the classroom in sport, drama, music and activities like community service and Model United Nations.”Haileybury has been teaching the IB Diploma for nearly 20 years and is one of the leading IB schools in the UK.
