* The IB 30.3 figure [to 1 d.p.] for 2024 is based on all students with entries for 6 subjects and the core. However, it is a slightly misleading statistic as it will likely include students with
total point scores less than 10 points, who did not complete all their 6 subjects and were not withdrawn from the ones they did not complete.
** Out of those students entered for the full Diploma
'IBCP Awarded' to 49 out of the 50 ESF students on the Career-Related Programme.
23 ESF students achieved 45 points in May 2024 [The IB no-longer publish equivalent worldwide data for 45-point students].

* The 'mean deviation per exam' is calculated by averaging out the difference between the actual grade and the prediction given to the IB. A positive value indicates
that students have 'on average' achieved better than predicted.
** The 'mean absolute deviation per exam' is calculated by averaging out the absolute difference between the actual grade and the prediction given to the IB. For
example, a mean absolute deviation of 1 indicates than 'on average' students were one grade away from their predicted grade. It can never be less than zero.
*** E.g. if the 'maximum deviation' is 3 this indicates that at least one student has scored 3 grades higher than predicted.
**** E.g. if the 'minimum deviation' is -2 this indicates that at least one student has scored 2 grades lower than predicted.
4.2 By Subject
The deviations for subjects with a small number of entries should be deemed less significant than those subjects with a large number of entries.
In a very small number of cases students do not have a predicted grade for a subject. There are usually no predicted grades for self-taught subjects.

* The 'mean deviation per essay' is calculated by averaging out the difference between the actual grades and the predictions given to the IB. A positive value
indicates that students have 'on average' achieved better than predicted.
** The 'mean absolute deviation per essay' is calculated by averaging out the absolute difference between the actual grade and the prediction given to the IB. For
example, a mean absolute deviation of 1 indicates than 'on average' students were one grade away from their predicted grade. It can never be less than zero.
