Our Year 11 class of 2017 has surpassed expectations and attained excellent results for the 2017 IGCSE.
Achievement | 2017 | 2016 | 2015 |
12 A*/As | 2% | N/A | N/A |
11 A*/As and above | 14% | 8% | 2% |
10 A*/As and above | 23% | 20% | 18% |

8 A*/As and above | 48% | 38% | 35% |
7 A*/As and above | 53% | 43% | 43% |
Most of our students took 10 or 11 IGCSE subjects which totalled up to roughly 2000 grades of which:
• 64% are A*/A vs 60% which is the international benchmark of excellence
• 84% are A*-B
• 94% are A*-C
This means that 94% of all the grades achieved by our students are credits or better.
Cambridge ICE
Cambridge International Certificate in Education (ICE) exposes students to a broad and balanced curriculum and enables them to demonstrate competence in a wide range of subjects. Students are required to take subjects from five curriculum areas:
• 2 from Languages
• 1 from Humanities
• 1 from Sciences
• 1 from Mathematics
• 1 from Creative & Vocational
All SKIS students who were eligible have passed the ICE. Nevertheless, the level of overall excellence in the school is shown by the fact that 74% of students scored distinctions and 23% have achieved merits.
