A year of exceptional achievement
A total of 145 students completed the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme in 2026, achieving an average score of 37.7 points, significantly above the global average of 30.88 points.
The College also achieved a 99.3% pass rate, with 40% of students attaining 40 points or above, an increase from 30% in 2025 and an achievement that places many of our graduates among the highest-performing IB candidates globally.
At the highest level of attainment, four students received the maximum possible score of 45 points, demonstrating exceptional performance across six subjects alongside the Diploma Programme’s core.
The Class of 2026 also continued the College’s strong tradition of multilingual learning. Twenty-nine students were awarded the prestigious IB Bilingual Diploma, up from 26 the previous year, recognising successful academic study in two languages and demonstrating the linguistic confidence and intercultural understanding that are increasingly valued by universities and employers in an interconnected world.
A community celebrating success
“I am immensely proud of our students for achieving these outstanding results. They are a testament not only to academic ability, but also to the resilience, determination and sense of purpose they have developed throughout their time at Dulwich.
