IGCSE Results 2025
“All at DIS are delighted to celebrate the achievements of our students in this year’s I/GCSE examinations. These outstanding results reflect the dedication, effort, and resilience of our young people, supported so ably by their teachers and families. While the headlines rightly highlight the exceptional outcomes at the very highest levels, it is important to recognise that every grade represents a personal triumph. Each student has overcome challenges and demonstrated commitment to their learning, and all should be proud of what they have achieved.
Success of this kind does not happen by chance. It is the product of sustained hard work from students, the skill and care of our staff, and the encouragement of a supportive community. Together, these have created outcomes that will allow every member of the cohort to move forward into the next stage of their education with confidence. I wish them all huge congratulations for so a wonderful success.”– Mr Simon O’Connor, School Director & AFEF Chief Education Officer, Deira International School
