New Sixth Form pioneers for Ryde School
Two years ago Ryde School
became the first Independent
School in the UK to introduce the
IBCP (International Baccalaureate
Career-related Programme)
alongside A Levels and the IBDP
(IB Diploma Programme).
The IBCP offers academic qualifications with
the vocational and life skills that other post
16 qualifications don’t generally deliver. The
first pioneers go on to university, art college,
apprenticeships and straight into work.
Across the Sixth Form we saw A Level
results of over a third graded at A* or A
and more than a quarter of pupils gaining
at least two A grades; the IB results points
average was 34.8 points (Ryde School’s
highest score was 43 points; the world
average was 29.95 points).
This year, ten students chose Engineering
and Design for their course choice for
university, other pupils went on to medical
schools, Oxbridge, other universities and arts
and music colleges.
The Sixth Form at Ryde is an exciting place
to be, please join us for the Sixth Form Open
House on Thursday 30 November from
7pm to find out more about the Sixth Form.
Academic scholarships and Sport, Sailing,
Music Scholarships are available for entry
into the Sixth Form.
