WHAT IS THE LEARNER PROFILE?
The IB educates the whole person, intellectually, morally and emotionally and
the IB learner pro昀椀le plays an important part in this, featuring all of the skills and
qualities the Diploma aims to teach and develop in its learners during the two
years.
"Sta昀昀 teaching the International Baccalaureate probe
expertly students’ knowledge."
OFSTED Report 2024
These qualities are nurtured explicitly via speci昀椀cations, subject content and
assessment, or sometimes more implicitly via the teaching and learning methods
our trained and experienced IB teachers employ in the classroom. The Core and
Tutorial programme also play an important role in developing these skills.
"Students on the IB course make outstanding
progress. Their achievement is exceptionally high
and well above the international average.”
OFSTED Report 2018
Students are helped to take charge of their own learning, to be well-organised
and self-motivated and they have freedom to pursue their own interests through
choices of level, coursework topics and Extended Essay titles – some subjects
even involve students choosing exam options.
