Fettes is delighted to announce another excellent set of IB results in 2026, with a school average of 38 points (equivalent to 4A*s at A Level).
100% of our IB students not only passed their Diploma but achieved over the IB global average of 30 points. A third of the cohort achieved 40 points or more with three-quarters of all grades at Grades 7-6 (equivalent to A*-A at A Level) and 96% at Grades 7-5 (equivalent to A*-B). These are some of our best outcomes in the IB to date at Fettes, and we are incredibly proud of every single one of our students.
The IB Class of 2026 will be going on to a range of impressive universities, including St Andrews, Durham, UCL, King’s College London, Bath, Edinburgh and Glasgow in the UK; and a fifth of them will be taking up places at universities around the world, with destinations spanning North America, Europe and Asia.
Solenn Gueganton, Fettes IB Coordinator, said: “I am incredibly proud of the Fettes IB Class of 2026. Behind these excellent results are so many individual success stories. An average of 38 points is a tremendous achievement in and of itself; however, what makes this cohort so special is that their academic success sits alongside an extraordinary range of commitments beyond the classroom, from representing their countries in sport to excellence in music and drama, selfless leadership and hundreds of hours given back in service to the local community. They leave as Old Fettesians with the curiosity, confidence and character to embrace the many opportunities that lie ahead.”
Helen Harrison, Head of Fettes College, said: “It is wonderful to see Fettes students excelling in the IB Diploma: an incredibly demanding qualification that offers both breadth and depth. These results are testament to the hard work of our students, the superb support of our committed teaching staff, and the pastoral guidance provided in our boarding houses. We are delighted for our IB Class of 2026 and know they leave school ready for the next exciting stage in their lives.”
Fettes College is the only school in Scotland to offer a dual pathway of International Baccalaureate and A Level in the Sixth Form.
