The Diploma Programme is a remarkable journey, and it starts with intention.
Mr David Coppard shares his message to our DP students and families as the year gets underway.
Dear Students and Families,
Welcome to another exciting year in the IB Diploma Programme. Whether you are continuing your DP journey or joining our community for the first time, we are delighted to welcome you and look forward to working together throughout the year ahead.
The start of a new academic year brings fresh opportunities, new challenges and the chance for every student to grow academically and personally. The Diploma Programme encourages students to become inquisitive, reflective and resilient learners, developing the knowledge, skills and international-mindedness needed for success at university and beyond.
As we begin the 2026-27 school year, we do so from a position of strength.
We are incredibly proud of last year’s Diploma Programme results, with our students achieving a 100% pass rate and an average score of 31.89 points, more than a full point above the global IB average.
These outcomes reflect the hard work and dedication of our students and teachers as well as the invaluable support provided by our families. We thank our entire community for their contribution to this achievement and look forward to building on this success on the 2026/27 school year.
Beyond academic achievement, we remain committed to providing a rich and balanced educational experience. Through opportunities provided by CAS, the Extended Essay and Theory of Knowledge, as well as well as those on offer through our wider Nord Anglia collaborations, students will continue to develop as well-rounded individuals who are prepared to make a positive contribution to the world around them.
Our dedicated staff are committed to creating a supportive and challenging learning environment in which every student feels valued, inspired and empowered to reach their full potential.
I am looking forward to a fantastic 2026-27 school year and to all that we will accomplish together.
Cordiali saluti,
David Coppard
Head of DP
