We congratulate all our students on their achievements and examination results, which are a testament to their hard work, positive attitude and determination.

IB results 2025

Many congratulations to the Class of 2025 on their excellent IB results.

This year, our 245 IB Diploma students together achieved an average score of 39.1 points, around 10 points above the world average.  

Eleven students achieved the highest possible Diploma score of 45 points. More than half of the cohort earned 40 points or more – a tremendous result.   

The Headmaster, Mr Jesse Elzinga, said: ‘I am delighted that every student so successfully completed their IB Diploma. As we celebrate another year’s achievements, I offer my congratulations to all our students on their results, which are a credit to their aspirations, hard work and dedication. Very well done to the Class of 2025, and Godspeed.’  

Sevenoaks is one of the world’s leading IB schools. All of our Sixth Form take the International Baccalaureate Diploma, which involves the study of six academic subjects and the IB’s Theory of Knowledge course, as well as elements of service, creativity, sport and an extended research project.  

Every year, some 200,000 students around the world take the IB Diploma. The IB’s breadth, depth, academic rigour and international outlook empowers our students to flourish at university and in their future careers. Our school leavers are intellectually curious, creative critical thinkers who will go out into the world and make a difference.

The majority of our Year 11 students are staying on to study at Sevenoaks, joining new students from all over the world to form a 234-strong cohort starting in the Lower Sixth in September.

“Our examination results are excellent, but this is not our primary purpose. High grades are a happy by-product of good education, and if we can enable students to leave school with outstanding qualifications too, then so much the better.”
