Yes, Sevenoaks is regarded as the No.1 IB school in U.K. although it customarily does not partipicate in any school ranking.

Love to see that a local IB school would become a No.1 IB school in Hong Kong.

Me too. If other schools like SPCC & CKY, also a good sign.

Sevenoaks is not doing as well as last year.

In 2011, 16 students gained the maximum 45 points, 23 gained 44 points and 125 gained 40 or more points.
Average IB score was 39.9

in 2012,  7 students achieved the maximum 45 points, with another 17 securing 44 points.
107 students gained diplomas with 40 or more points.  The average score was 39.1 points


In fact, Sevenoaks is pipped by CLC.

CLC's average score was 40.5 points.  Nearly 70% of girls achieved 40 points or over and at least one Level 7 at Higher Level.

Both are excellent schools and it's difficult to judge which one is a better IB school because class size is different etc.

Thanks for your sharing. I have a friend's D studying at 7oaks this year. Her IB result is 39, the average score of the whole school. She complies with the conditions of the offer by the UK law school (which asks for IB score of 39).

I have clicked the link you posted and understand that the class size of CLC is 30 for IB. However the class size of 7oaks is around 200, about 7 times of CLC. That accounts for a bit lower overall average.

Nice to know that your friend's daughter is able to meet the offer and do the subject she likes.  It is great to be able to study in a school with an high average score because it reflects the school's general standard.  But at the end of the day, it's your kid's individual score that counts. I guess being the minority who does really well in a less well known school is still far better than being the minority who does badly in Sevenoaks or CLC.

That's why I said "it's difficult to judge which one is a better IB school because class size is different etc."  I believe the majority of CLC students are still doing A Levels.  Anyway, 25% of Sevenoaks students received offers from Oxbridge and CLC's percentage is 28%.  So if going to Oxbridge is your kid's target, then either school won't make much of a difference.

Your comment is very true. I had a friend's D whose HKCEE result was only 14. She went to a less known boarding school in the northern part of U.K.. Since the average performance (in terms of GSCE and AL) is lower than the average of the schools in that district, that school is qualified for "wider participation scheme" by the elite colleges. She obtained an offer from Cambridge to study Biology because of the "wider participation scheme". She graduated last year with a very impressive high 2:1 degree.

Thanks for your sharing, I know some other schools with small sizes all doing very well in IB.
Also the same principle in HK, like ESF IS and LPC have aimilar class sizes and comparable.

D人又會問點解名校高考冇狀元

算啦，對我們是沒有影響。

只是部分家長可能會被誤導而已。
