We look forward to sharing further offers from the UK and around the world as the application cycle progresses.
The IB Diploma
The IB Diploma continues to be the gold standard preparation for university, the workplace and beyond. The school is committed to ensuring that each student applies to the course and university that is the most suitable fit for them. Our Higher Education programme aims to support students navigating their post-18 options. Some students who want to combine paid work with study may also want to consider the sought-after degree apprenticeship route, either instead of, or alongside university applications.
Various factors have increased the level of competition amongst students with top grades. We expect the level of competition to continue to be very high for the 2027 university entry cycle.
