EXAMINATION RESULTS.

In 2011 Markham students sat an average of 10.2 courses at IGCSE and passed 9.95 of them with Grades A-C. 46% of the results were Grades A*-A. This despite the fact, that with the obvious exceptions of French and Spanish, all courses are taught in English and the overwhelming majority of our students have Spanish as their First Language.

In the last ten years, Markham has entered 587 students for the IB Bi-lingual Diploma and 580 have passed with an average score of 33.2. 58 of them have achieved scores of 40 points or more.

All students are entered for PET (Preliminary English Test) in their last year of Primary education and for FCE (First Certificate of English) at the age of 14. Pass rates are close to 100%.
