IB Diploma Results 2024

Great success for Hockerill IB Diploma students 

Hockerill students are celebrating a strong set of results in the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme. 102 Year 13 students from Hockerill Anglo-European College took the IB Diploma this year and have now received their results, for those achieving the Diploma we have an average point score of 34, which is well above the global average of 30.32 points. 

Students are celebrating their achievements in a range of subject areas. 14 students achieved a score of 40 points or over with 40 points being equal to an A level score of “A*, A*, A*, A* and  A”; to have 4 students with 44 points is an amazing achievement. Only 8.55% of students in the IB cohort worldwide last year achieved 40-45 points.  

Esme Lawson achieved the maximum point score of 45, which is usually awarded to less than 1% of students worldwide.  There were other standout performances from Joel Smith, Summer Stevens and Iris Mamier all achieving 44 points; Rebekah Wilson scoring 43 points; 3 students including Sean Camp and Luke Ricketts being awarded 42 points; Holly Morgan and Robyn Kennard being awarded 41 points; Jumie Jackson, Spencer Scarlett, Zachary Kibblewhite and Nataliya Cromie whose points equaled 40. 

David Woods, Principal of Hockerill was particularly proud of the Year 13:  

“Exceptional results from exceptional young people. Once again the IB Diploma has allowed our students to excel and show what they are capable of across a wide range of disciplines and skills. We look forwarding to supporting them as they move forward to university, apprenticeships or employment.” 

A number of students from this year’s cohort are opting to study overseas, include New York University (USA), University of Toronto (Canada), Sophia University (Japan). Others are undertaking a gap year before applying to start at university in 2025.   

The majority of Hockerill students have confirmed UK destinations so far, with the most popular destinations being: 

University of Exeter 
University of Warwick 
University of Nottingham 
University of Bristol 
Durham University 
Loughborough University 
University of Manchester 
University of Cambridge 
University of Edinburgh  
UCL  
University of Bath  
University of Leeds  
University of Reading  

The range of interest among students from all areas of study, the humanities, sciences, and arts, reflects the varied and diverse nature of Hockerill students and the strength of the International Baccalaureate Diploma. Just under 80% of the 90 students going on to university in the UK received an offer from a Russell Group institution, 3 of whom will be studying medicine or veterinary medicine.    In addition, one successful student has gained a fully funded degree apprenticeship placement with the Environment Agency.  The College is especially proud of its first-generation university students.
