Record number of students achieve 40+ points, with Oxbridge, Ivy League and Russell Group destinations confirmed

Hockerill Anglo-European College is proud to announce a strong set of International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma results which reflect both the students’ hard work and the College’s commitment to excellence.  The College’s Diploma holders achieved an average point score of 34, which is well above the global average of 30.

Key highlights from the 2025 IB Diploma results:

• Nearly one in five students achieved a score of 40 points or over – almost double the global average of 9.3%[1].These grades are broadly equivalent to A*A*A*A* up to A*A*A*A*A* at A Level.
   
• 75% of higher level papers were graded at 7, 6 or 5 (regarded as equivalent to A*-B at A level[2])

A special mention must go to Aditi Banthia and Matthew Bottomley (pictured together below) both with a perfect score of 45 points, achieved by less than 1000 students worldwide per year, in recent years.

There were also particular standout performances from……

Zelie Allen-Mills and Amalia Dasgupta who achieved 44 points; Oliver Becchi, Joshua Hung, Wai Huen Leung, Valentine Osmond and one other student gained 43 points; Aden Danahar, Raymond Fu, George Hales, Annabel Ovonlen and Sze Ching (Venus) Yip being awarded 41 points; Charles Clement, Milla Duarte Louro, Anna Ganevitch, Sofia Garcia Ivica, Olivia Hick, Samuel Johnston and Sebastian Ttoffali with 40 points.
