IB Results 2024/25

There is an overwhelming sense of pride at Leigh Academy Blackheath this week as our community celebrates the achievements of its inaugural cohort of LAB16 students and their excellent set of IB exam results. Students studying both the IB Diploma (DP) and Careers Related (CP) Programmes received their full awards yesterday, along with over 192,000 other students across 152 countries globally.  

Overall, our students did better than their starting points suggested they would with a value added measure for this cohort reaching 0.21.  With 89% of grades at 4 or above, and outcomes for the core assessments expecting to meet or exceed the IB global averages, these results are incredibly strong for our first set of post 16 students.

Mrs Smith, Principal of Leigh Academy Blackheath, commented:

“I am so happy for our amazing LAB16 students, they have taken this opportunity to study the IB and achieved outcomes that have the potential to be life changing.  The average total UCAS point score for a LAB16 IBDP student equals that of an A-Level student achieving 3 ‘grade A’s’, which is really impressive!

For some students, these results are the end of their 7 year journey at LAB, having joined us as founding students in 2018.  They leave us ready and determined to leave their footprint on the world, and I am truly very excited to see what they achieve.”

DP students can achieve a total of 45 points.  Huge recognition must go to the following students who achieved exceptional overall results:

• Anna – 42 
• Suchay – 39
• Alex – 37
• Adrianna – 36
• Kristien – 35

Rory and Christina, both CP students, also secured exceptional results with 5’s in both of their IB courses and a grade A for their Reflective Project.  Like other CP students they now have a few weeks to wait for the results of their BTEC courses, but are pleased to know they are another step closer to the exciting opportunities that lie ahead.

Students did particularly well in English, maths, global politics and chemistry, and all elements of the IB core in both the DP and CP.

We wish all of our students the very best of luck for their next adventure, and share with you a few of the courses they are now going on to study:

• Anna – Chemistry with International study at University of Manchester
• Suchay – Physics at University College London
• Kristien – Politics and international studies at University of Warwick
• Rhianna – Criminology and Spanish at University of Liverpool

A mixture of other courses include: Global design engineering and the Institute of Engineering and Design, London, chemistry at University of Bath, architecture at Ravensbourne University, biomedical sciences at University of Surrey, psychology at University of Essex.

We wish all of our year 13 students every success for the future, and congratulate them on achieving their brilliant IB results this summer.  Well done class of 2025!

Mr Kevin Watson, Principal, commented:

“These results are a testament to the hard work and determination of our students and staff. We are especially pleased with the improvements across key subject areas, and the positive trajectory shown in our overall performance. This momentum puts us in a strong position for the year ahead.”

This year marks the final delivery of our IB programmes, and we are proud of the legacy they leave behind. Looking ahead, we are excited to build on this foundation with refined course offerings that better meet the needs of our learners. In particular, we are delighted to announce that from next year, we will be offering a third T Level, expanding the range of high-quality vocational pathways available to our students.

Overall, Wilmington Academy has demonstrated outstanding progress and attainment performance. Our Average Point Score (APS) for 2025 reached 32.2, which is a H4+ grade.

Our overall average grade of 4.84 for 2025 is also likely to be above the IB Global average for subjects offered, which last year was at 4.67.

Our students have truly excelled across a diverse range of subjects, consistently outperforming global averages and showing remarkable growth in academic performance:

Graduates are heading to highly-regarded institutions across the UK, including the University of Bath for aerospace engineering, Durham University for modern languages and international relations, the University of Warwick for mathematics, Lancaster University for politics and international relations, and Loughborough University for diagnostic radiography and finance: investment banking. They are pursuing an ambitious and incredibly wide range of subjects, from popular fields like law, computer science and psychology to more specialised areas such as aerospace engineering, diagnostic radiography, marine biology with oceanography, multimedia sports journalism, and esports coaching & management. Notably, many students have secured their desired places with Conditional Firm offers, reflecting their potential, while several have achieved unconditional  offers, underscoring their exceptional academic profiles and securing their spots even before final results.

These results truly reflect the vibrant learning environment at Wilmington Academy, fostered by the collaborative spirit of our students and the unwavering support and expertise of our teaching and support staff.
