RHA Sixth Form Celebrates IBCP Success!

The Royal Harbour Academy is thrilled to announce the outstanding achievements of its Sixth Form students in the International Baccalaureate Career-Related Programme (IBCP). Their remarkable dedication and commitment has truly paid off, culminating in a year of significant academic success and personal growth.

Our students studied a rigorous curriculum, showing exceptional academic excellence through the successful completion of Level 3 BTECs alongside challenging IB Diploma Programme courses.

Beyond their demanding coursework and academic subjects, our IBCP students excelled in the programme's core components. This included invaluable personal and professional skills development,  community-focused service learning projects, and reflective essays that explored complex ethical dilemmas. Further enriching their experience, students embraced global citizenship through mandatory language acquisition, immersing themselves in an international culture, with a particular focus on Japanese culture and language.

Headteacher, Simon Pullen, expressed immense pride in the Sixth Form students, praising their dedication and resilience throughout their intensive two-year journey. "I am incredibly proud of what our students have accomplished," said Simon Pullen. "Their hard work and perseverance has been truly inspiring, and we've seen some excellent individual performances that highlight their diverse talents and strong commitment to learning."

Here are some of the fantastic individual performances:

Charlie also received our annual prize for being the Highest Achieving student at The Royal Harbour Academy; a truly brilliant achievement.

Margo received a grade 5 in higher level IB English Literature and Language, a grade 5 in IB Mathematics Applications and Interpretations and a B grade in her Reflective Project.
