I am thrilled to report our students have achieved the highest IGCSE results in ISL's history for a second year running. On behalf of our school I would like to extend our warmest congratulations to all IG students who worked extremely hard over two years for this success.
We have achieved this under extraordinary circumstances. The grade boundaries this year were higher on average compared to the last 5 years. This cohort of students experienced three years of pandemic learning and all the physical and mental challenges that came with that. We had the toughest exam season ever with covid cases on the rise and a constant sense of uncertainty if exams would be cancelled.
Yet despite these challenges, we prevailed.
Further, 90% of students who received some form of learning support achieved a good pass. This is compared to only 24% of students globally. This is a true testament to the old saying that with hard work and perseverance, you can achieve anything. It also shows that ISL is a place where all children can succeed, regardless of need of ability.
92% of English as an Additional Language students achieved a good pass, which is the same as the school's rate. This means that at ISL children have the same opportunity to succeed, even if English is not their first language.
Among gifted and talented students 50% of grades were A*s, 24% of grades were As, and 19% of grades were Bs. This is a tremendous achievement by itself and exemplifies our school's dedication for academic excellence.
Yet again the hard work and dedication of our students and faculty have put us among the top performing schools in Southern Africa and the world.
Fabulous results Ves - well done to you, the teachers and the students.
