We celebrate another fantastic year of results for our IGCSE and A Level students. The collective effort of our students, parents and staff has placed us in the top 1% of schools globally for our value-added data at A Level. That means students do better at GIS than 99% of other schools, indicating that factors in the teaching and learning external to the students have contributed to their success. None of this happens by accident, and I am incredibly proud of the determination, efforts and tenacity of our students in achieving so highly while also developing as responsible, resilient and interculturally competent young people.
