Remarkably, four students achieved A* grades in all four of their A levels subjects - Varsha Gopinath Lakshmi, Kiefer Lim, Wesley Lim and Yahya Husain Ul Hasan. Varsha will be going to the University of Liverpool to study Medicine, Kiefer will be going to the University of Oxford in the UK to study Physics, Wesley is planning to study Accountancy at the National University of Singapore (NUS) and Yahya will be at the University of Toronto to study Computer Science.

A further four students achieved a combination of A*/A grades in all four subjects studied for A Level - Aneeza Mohammad Shamsul, Nischal Gurung, Mohammed Usman-Sarki and Timo Stapel.

Anna Pei, a full boarder from China, will be going to the University of New South Wales in Australia to pursue a Bachelor of Politics, Philosophy and Economics (PPE) and also Law double degree.

Mr Nicholas Sheehan, Principal of JIS, said that: "Whilst these top performing students will leave JIS with superb academic results, they will be remembered more by their fellow students for the significant impact as young leaders in the school and the influence they have had on those around them. They have set an excellent example to the younger members of our community. These success stories would not have been written without their parents support and also that of the academic team in the Upper Years - Mr Daniel Milner (Head of Senior School and JIS Vice Principal), Mr Alex Cook (Academic Director), Mr Dan Roberts (Head of Sixth Form - Academic), Lynsay Scott (Pastoral Director) and Mr John van der Marel (Head of Sixth Form - Pastoral) who, together with the teaching and pastoral staff continue to challenge and inspire students to become the best that they can be.鈥�

IB Diploma results

With an average score of 34.83, our students are ahead of the global average of 30.24. 76% of the JIS students exceeded the world average, 41% achieved 36 points or above and 24% achieved 40 points or above. This is significant because to enter the prestigious Russell Group Universities in the UK, 36 points is typically the minimum score required.

The School鈥檚 IB results continue to be outstanding, building on the excellent history of IB Diploma provision at JIS. Han Hor (Head Girl) and Tania Teo (Fireback Deputy House Captain) both achieved the highest score of 44 points.
