SCHOOL PROFILE 2013/2014
IB Diploma Programme Grading System The IB Diploma students are monitored and graded throughout
the two years of the Diploma Programme using the IB grading
system for each subject which gives the students a grade
between 1 - 7.
IGCSE Grading System The grading system used is that of the Cambridge University
Examinations Board (www.cie.org.uk). There are no simple
correlations between percentages scored and grades awarded
as there are variations between subjects and year-on-year
fluctuations.
