Students at Rochester Grammar School are celebrating an outstanding set of International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme results, with many now preparing to begin the next chapter of their education at leading universities in the UK and overseas.
This year's cohort has once again achieved impressive outcomes, reflecting the hard work, commitment and ambition shown throughout their Sixth Form studies.
Highlights from this year's results include:
An average point score of 35.2 from our diploma candidates
21% achieving 38 points or higher

The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme provides students with a broad and academically rigorous curriculum, encouraging them to develop critical thinking, independent research skills and a global outlook alongside their subject knowledge. Combined with Rochester Grammar School's extensive enrichment opportunities and pastoral support, pupils leave Sixth Form well prepared for university, apprenticeships and future careers.
Clare Brinklow, Principal at Rochester Grammar School, said:
“Congratulations to all of our students. Successfully completing Sixth Form means not just working hard, but demonstrating resilience and perseverance which our students have shown time and again. Thanks to all of the parents, carers and teachers who have supported our excellent year 13 cohort over the last two years, and we look forward to seeing what exciting things this cohort achieves in the coming years.”
Students from this year's cohort are now preparing to take up places at leading universities including Oxford, UCL, Durham, Bath, Bristol and Warwick studying a wide range of subjects including English, Law, PPE, Economics and Engineering, alongside a number of highly competitive apprenticeships.
