Inspired Education, the leading global group of premium schools, is celebrating and outstanding summer of student achievement across the 2025 examination season, with learners across its international group achieving results that consistently outpace national and global standards in the International Baccalaureate (IB), IGCSEs and A-levels.

From record numbers of perfect IB scores to an impressive haul of top grades at IGCSE and A-level, this year’s results reflect the breadth of academic excellence at Inspired schools and the strength of the group’s shared commitment to educational ambition.

Headline academic results include:

• In IB, 12 students across Inspired schools in Italy, Spain, Greece, Switzerland and Portugal achieved a perfect score of 45, highlighting the group’s global excellence.
• For IGCSEs, 69% of exams were awarded grade 6 or above, showcasing consistent strength across a wide range of subjects.
• Meanwhile in A-levels, 44% of students received grades A–A*, substantially outperforming the national average of 28.7%.

These achievements highlight the diversity and depth of student achievement across Inspired's global network, across disciplines, assessment formats and curricula. They also reflect the group’s ongoing focus on preparing students for success well beyond the classroom, through academic challenge, individual support and a global outlook.

As exam formats continue to evolve, including changes to the way A-levels and IGCSEs assess applied knowledge and critical thinking, Inspired’s schools remain at the forefront of this shift, embracing new approaches to teaching and assessment that reflect the realities of a changing world.

Nadim Nsouli, Founder, Chairman and CEO of Inspired, said:

“I am incredibly proud of our students’ outstanding exam results this year. Across every programme, whether IB, IGCSE or A-level, our students have not only met expectations but far exceeded them. These results are a powerful testament to the dedication, talent and resilience of our students, supported by our exceptional educators and strong school communities.

“At Inspired, we are deeply committed to creating learning environments where every student can thrive academically, personally and globally. These outcomes affirm that commitment and celebrate the remarkable achievements of our global Inspired family.”

Michael Lambert, Global Director of Education at Inspired, added:

“These results reflect the strength and consistency of Inspired’s educational philosophy across all curricula. Whether IB, IGCSE or A-level, our schools are united by a shared commitment to high expectations, personalised learning and global-mindedness.

“It’s particularly rewarding to see such strong outcomes across such a wide range of subjects and regions. Behind every grade is a student who has grown in confidence, resilience and ambition, supported by outstanding teachers and school communities that believe in their potential.”

These results also highlight the ongoing alignment between the evolving nature of A Level assessments and Inspired’s commitment to providing a progressive, student-centred educational model. With a focus on developing skills and competencies that extend beyond traditional knowledge recall, Inspired continues to foster well-rounded, future-ready learners.

Inspired remains dedicated to delivering a world-class education that equips every student with the confidence, curiosity and capability to succeed at university, in their careers and as engaged citizens of the world.
