Special mentions go to Horizon International School in Dubai for achieving an average of 1.5 added value at A Level for their students as well as 38% Grade 7-9 for their GCSE results – far exceeding the 26% national average, and to students at the Australian International School in Singapore, who achieved 69.5% Grade A*-A in their IGCSE results.
Dr Simon Camby, Group Education Director at Cognita, said: “Many congratulations to all our students and their teachers for an outstanding set of results this year. These two year groups are very likely to have felt the impact of the pandemic, which makes their achievements this year even more impressive. While academic results are important, they only form part of the story and we are confident that our students will continue to thrive in the next chapter of their lives. We are very proud of you all and we wish you continued success and happiness for the future”
