These personal values, which align with Jesuit values and the IB Pupil Profile, are embodied through the teachers, who continuously strive to support us pupils to be ‘as much as they can’.
Mrs Debbie Kirkby, Director of IB said: “The entire IB team is so proud of the results achieved by this year’s Diploma cohort. Their final scores are a testament to the tremendous, combined efforts of the young people and their teachers; they represent a celebration of achievement for each and every one in the cohort.”
