Students have once again proved Richmond College’s success after achieving top marks in their exams.

College students completing the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma at the Twickenham college achieved a 88 per cent pass rate this year, compared to the global rate of 78 per cent, maintain the college’s official recognition as the leading state provider for the course.

A group of eight students gained 40 to 42 of the maximum 45 points and are enrolling at top universities, including Oxford, Edinburgh and Durham.

Richmond College’s head of International Baccalaureate said: “We were one of the two state colleges to first introduce the IB Diploma to the London area in 2004, and we have built up a formidable professional team which attracts the very best, most committed and ambitious students.”
