Exceptional Results at this Singapore school!
Tanglin Trust School says that it’s delighted with this year’s A-Level results; achieving a pass rate of 100 percent. Forty percent of all grades were an A*, compared to 14.6 percent in England, and 69 percent of all grades were an A* or A (versus 36.4 percent in England, and 58 percent in independent schools in England). Tanglin is unique amongst Singapore international schools as it offers both A-Level and the IB Diploma in Sixth Form, both yielding consistently outstanding academic results. This year’s IB cohort achieved the school’s highest ever average Diploma score of 41.4 points, more than 9.4 points above the world average and 3.9 points higher than the Singapore average this year.
Brighton Expands their school in Singapore
Starting from August 2025, Brighton College (Singapore) will extend its curriculum and course offerings to pupils aged up to 13 years. The expansion of the school means that it can offer a Brighton College education to more children for longer, to encompass their critical growth years. Brighton College (Singapore) continues to develop for the benefit of the international community – the school will offer its British National curriculum while focusing on the development of the whole child so as to set them up for future success.
