Our Pupils Top the World in the 2025 IGCSE Examinations

For the second consecutive year, Viktoria has claimed the world's top honour — a living example that excellence is never an accident, but the result of perseverance. 

To her, mathematics is more than a subject; it is a way of thinking — calm, logical, precise and elegant. Her achievement is a natural extension of her own high standards and reflects Wellington's well-established framework in mathematical education. 

Excelling in both analytical and linguistic disciplines, Samuel embodies the intellectual balance that defines a Wellington pupil. 

In Additional Mathematics, his success stemmed from meticulous reasoning and near-perfect accuracy. In Mandarin, he impressed examiners with his fluent expression and deep cultural understanding. His dual triumph beautifully illustrates the strength of Wellington's East-meets-West education philosophy. 

While most of their peers have yet to attempt the IGCSEs, Joey and Dino chose to step up early — and conquered the challenge with distinction. 

Their success, standing out among hundreds of thousands of candidates worldwide, highlights not only their talent but also their enthusiasm for learning and self-motivation. These Early Entry results serve as powerful inspiration for younger pupils: dare to challenge, dare to excel. 

Steve distinguished himself in this year's IGCSE examinations through his solid technical foundation and sharp digital insight, earning 'Top in China' in ICT. 

Beyond his excellence in programming and data analysis, he demonstrated innovative thinking in cybersecurity and applied problem-solving. In an era defined by digital transformation, his achievement showcases Wellington pupils' readiness to embrace the future of technology. 

Behind every world-first lies countless hours of dedication and effort.
