The IB Diploma Programme was introduced to Gresham’s in 2007, and has proved increasingly popular with pupils, who have achieved outstanding results.

Pupils opting for the IB will study and take exams in six subjects; at least three will be studied at Higher Level (HL) and three at Standard Level (SL), according to pupil preference. The school advises pupils on the best subject combinations to suit their interests and to meet their future goals.
