In March 1999 the Governors at Sevenoaks decided that we
would become an all IB Sixth Form school by September 2006.
A-levels would continue to be offered to those already in
the school when the decision was made, or had already accepted
a place for September 2000. By July 2006 the last pupils
entitled to the choice had left, so in September 2006 all
440 Sixth Form pupils were studying for the IB Diploma.
Time and experience appear to have vindicated the Governors'
1999 decision. Whilst the 'gold standard' value of A-levels
continues to be challenged, the IB's reputation for rigour,
balance and coherence has spread, and the school's IB results
secure our leavers with places at our top universities.
