Cheltenham Ladies’ College has been named top girls’ boarding school in the UK for the International Baccalaureate (IB). This year’s results, which saw pupils achieve an average point score of 38.9 (equivalent to three A* grades at A Level), have placed CLC 8th in the UK overall and 24th in the world.
Over half of the students scored 40 points or higher, a score achieved by less than 10% of IB students worldwide.
The opportunity to study the IB Diploma Programme adds a great deal to the distinctive and holistic education at CLC. Across IB and A Level, our Sixth Form provision is soon to be enhanced by a new state-of-the-art Sixth Form Centre opening in 2026, which will include an employability suite, collaborative learning spaces, pods for focused learning, creative spaces and much more.
