Three graduates acheived a per- fect score of 45 points in the IB Diploma. The average score of last year's graduates was 38.4, beating the global average of 33.02, with a 100% pass rate. Andrew Fitzmaurice, CEO of Nord Anglia Education, said, “We are immensely proud of our IB stu- dents’ outstanding achievements, particularly in a year where the pandemic created significant chal- lenges. Their impressive results are of great credit to their resil- ience and hard work and pave the way for them to attend the world’s top universities. This year’s results are also testament to the dedica- tion, creativity and inspiration of our talented teachers who have ensured our students excel in their learning.” Congratulations to all of the graduates on their hard work!
A new school year brings new changes. Both YCIS Pudong and Puxi campuses were upgraded. Year 7 and 8 students in Puxi are learning
in new classrooms, flexible learning spaces, a social hub and common areas, while staff have new offices, workstations and meeting rooms. The primary school added sound proof rooms for music practice, while kindergarteners can enjoy an outdoor play space and roof garden.
In Pudong, students were welcomed back with a bigger sports field. Year 4 students have a new learning community, while Year 5 and 6 expanded to a new floor with art, design and science spaces. The Eng- lish department expanded, and a STEAM studio for robotics was added.
Dulwich Year 11 students have delivered fantastic IGCSE results with 85% of grades earning A* to A, and 94% of grades earning A* to B. Not only are the results well above the global average, they also set a new benchmark for the school, representing the highest percentages since the first IGCSE exam cohort in 2007. Dulwich had one of the largest cohorts of IGCSE test-takers in Shanghai with 63 pupils taking the exams. Over 50% of test-takers have spent four or more years at Dulwich Pudong, a testament to the strength and continuity of the curriculum as well as the strong relationships students have built with faculty over time.
