At Repton School Dubai, all pupils were entered for either the IB Diploma Program or the IB Careers-Related Programme, demonstrating the support afforded to every individual as they strive to achieve their best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Repton students once again produced some excellent results and will attend the most prestigious of universities.\nThis year\u2019s prefect team have set a superb standard for their peers and led by example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our Head Girl, Jeanne Semple achieved 44 points &#8211; a new record for Repton Dubai &#8211; and a score achieved by fewer than 1% of students worldwide. Semple will read Law at the London School of Economics (LSE). Not to be outdone, our Head Boy, Abdulla Al Shirawi secured an offer to read Physics at Stanford University. Christian Holland, Deputy Head Boy, attained 42 points and will read German and Arabic at St Andrews, while Deputy Head Girl, Michelle Elliot will travel to Cardiff University to read Biomedical Sciences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are extremely proud to announce that our IB\nstudents passed their IB examinations with record results. Students who took\nthe IBDP examinations scored an average of 34.4 points, well above the global\naverage of 30 points and bettering last year\u2019s average DP score, and at the top end, some 23% of this year\u2019s IB students attained 40 points or more (compared to the most\nrecent global average of 13.82%). I would like to congratulate our students for their\nhard work and commitment, which has come to fruition as evidenced by their\nstellar performance this year\u201d says David Cook, Headmaster, Repton School\nDubai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With a quarter of all students securing 40 points or above, our students were able to secure places to read a variety of subjects at some of the most prestigious universities across the world. Yuri Izumikawa secured 42 points and will read Cognitive Science at Johns Hopkins University in the US, whilst her twin sister, Mari Izumikawa attained 41 points and will study at a Japanese university; Aditya Gangwani attained 41 points to read Management at Warwick University; Polina Dorfman secured 40 points to read Economics at St Andrews; Raphael Fabre attained 40 points to earn a place at UC Berkeley; and Omar Al Hashimi secured 40 points to read Medicine at University College London. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Destination Universities for our Class of 2020:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/f.hubspotusercontent10.net\/hubfs\/5307665\/University-Destinations.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe would also like\nto congratulate the parents and the teaching staff for working together and\ninvesting significant time and energy to support our students, ensuring that\nthey excel and strive towards outstanding results, preparing them for a strong\nacademic future. The IB programme is recognised for its high standards\nand academic\nrigour by leading universities across the world, and that is\nan important consideration for Repton School Dubai, which accommodates such a\ndiverse range of nationalities,\u201d\nsays Cook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Repton\u2019s IB Careers-Related Programme and BTEC students also continued to record tremendous results: Marcus Dutton secured a golf scholarship in America, while Aman Thakkar will travel to The University of Birmingham to study Business Management. The highly sought after starred distinctions in BTEC were carefully tailored to IBDP subjects, to create a bespoke IBCP programme. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, IBCP students have successfully\ngraduated from the programme; having completed a Level 3 BTEC Diploma in\nBusiness within the IB Careers-Related Programme, alongside DP subjects which\nare the equivalent of A Levels in themselves. Yet another highlight for Repton\nSchool Dubai is that 100% of Emirati pupils who completed the examinations have\nsuccessfully earned their IB Diploma or IBCP certificate, in line with the\nregion\u2019s aim of prioritising the education of its younger generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have offered the IB\nprogramme since 2011 and continue to achieve a progressively higher group average score\neach year. The IB programme encourages both personal and academic achievement,\nchallenging students to excel in their studies as well as within external\nfields including creativity, sport, and service. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe embrace the IB programme because it remains our aim to develop\nwell-rounded students who possess the attributes and skills required to meet\nthe challenges of tomorrow,\u201d concludes Cook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Student Highlights:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\" style=\"color: #5F7185\"><li>Jeanne Semple achieved 44\npoints and will attend the London School of Economics to\nread Law.<\/li><li>Christian Holland achieved\n42 points and will attend St Andrews to read German and Arabic.<\/li><li>Yuri Izumikawa achieved 42\npoints and will attend Johns Hopkins University in the US, to read Cognitive\nScience.<\/li><li>Mari Izumikawa achieved 41\npoints and awaits offers from prestigious Japanese universities.<\/li><li>Aditya\nGangwani attained 41 points to read Management at Warwick University. <\/li><li>Anusheh Naseem achieved 41 points to read Psychology at UCL.\n<\/li><li>Polina Dorfman secured 40 points to read\nEconomics at St Andrews<\/li><li>Raphael\nFabre attained 40 points to earn a place\nat UC Berkeley.<\/li><li>Omar\nAl Hashimi secured 40 points to read Biomedical Sciences at UCL.<\/li><li>Ahmed Ibrahi achieved 40 points to read Engineering at\nthe University of Toronto.<\/li><li>Danesh Masani achieved 40 points to read Management at\nWarwick.<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A quarter of Repton Dubai students score 40+ points in their IB Diploma Dubai, UAE: (6 July 2020): Today we celebrate top marks achieved by our students in this year\u2019s International Baccalaureate (IB) examinations, with nearly a quarter of our students achieving over 40 points.
