International Baccalaureate students celebrate results at Taunton School
Year 13 students at Taunton School are celebrating after they received their International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) results.
Taunton School students achieved a pass rate of 96%, with Lily B, Anya T, and Amelie O achieving the highest marks of 41 out of a possible 45, followed by Rosie S who achieved 39. The average score achieved by Taunton School students was 32.7, compared to the global average of 30.
Top achievers Lily, Anya, Amelie, and Rosie are now considering their next steps, with Lily taking a gap year before heading to Edinburgh to study Business, Anya studying Politics & Philosophy at either London School of Economics or Bristol University, and Amelie studying Liberal Arts at Bristol. Rosie is taking a gap year before studying History at Durham in 2026.
All four students have been heavily involved with life at Taunton School, with Lily becoming a talented musician during her many years at the School and spending the last year as head of her house, Anya joining the School after gaining an IBDP scholarship and being actively involved in regular scholar sessions, Amelie appointed as head of her house and lead of the Amnesty International Club, and Rosie serving the Sixth Form community as Head of School.
Adrian Roberts, Assistant Head Global and IBDP Coordinator, said: “Once again, the Year 13 IBDP students at Taunton School have come up trumps gaining a strong cohort average as well as securing some impressive overall individual points scores, all of which are testament to their commitment, hard work and dedication. As IBDP Coordinator at Taunton School, I am very proud.”
IBDP students at Taunton School received offers from a range of top universities this year, including in the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, and the USA, extending the School’s vast global network.
The International Baccalaureate has been established for more than 50 years with Taunton School being one of the first in the South West to offer the diploma.
The globally-recognised qualification sees students study six subjects of their choice and three core elements, theory of knowledge, extended essay and creativity, activity and service (CAS) and is taught in 143 countries around the world. A score of 36 out of 45 is equivalent to three A grades at A-Level.
Taunton School uniquely offers four pathways to higher education in its modern Sixth Form, with the IBDP being one of them. It offers a range of scholarships and assisted places, including for the IBDP, with applications now open – visit https://www.tauntonschool.co.
