Reddam House Western Cape has recorded 374 distinctions in the 2025 Independent Examinations Board (IEB) examinations, with results showing strong consistency across both its Constantia and Atlantic Seaboard campuses.

At Reddam House Constantia, learners achieved 303 distinctions, with 31 students securing an A aggregate and 70% of the cohort attaining an A or B aggregate. On average, learners earned about three distinctions per student, indicating broad-based academic performance across the class.

Two Constantia learners received national recognition from the Independent Examinations Board. Keira Winter, who achieved nine distinctions, received an IEB Outstanding Achievement, while Emma Brodziak, with eight distinctions, received an IEB Commendable Achievement.

Several Constantia students achieved particularly high marks within individual subjects, earning placement in the IEB Top 1% nationally. These included Keira Winter for Life Orientation, Marine Sciences and Mathematics; Emma Brodziak for Dramatic Arts and History; David Fox for Mathematics and Physical Sciences; Joshua Barham-Smith for Mathematics; Benjamin Hulls for Economics; Eve Corbett for Life Orientation; Travis Mostert for Mathematical Literacy; Sofia Ahmed for Mathematical Literacy; !Khuboab Lawrence for Mathematical Literacy; and Ilané Kotze for Afrikaans First Additional Language (96%) and Visual Arts (97%).

Reddam House said these subject achievements reflect both academic rigor and the school’s commitment to developing depth across sciences, humanities and creative disciplines.

At Reddam House Atlantic Seaboard, a third of the cohort achieved four or more distinctions, with pupils averaging approximately 2.5 distinctions per student. Alessandro Ribero-Fassbender achieved top 1% national placements for Life Sciences (92%) and Mathematical Literacy (94%).

The results form part of the wider Western Cape performance of schools within the Inspired Education Group, following the release of the final IEB results for the Class of 2025.

Lisettè Noonan, Head of Reddam House Atlantic Seaboard, said the results reflect strong learner ownership and close partnerships: “Seeing a third of our cohort achieving four or more distinctions is a wonderful reflection of steady commitment, strong teacher mentorship and learners who take responsibility for their progress. Our students support one another, they keep perspective under pressure, and they continue to grow into capable young adults with confidence, balance and humility.”

Ravi Nadasen, CEO of the Inspired Education Group Africa & the Middle East, says the results reflect the group’s commitment to developing future-ready young people: “Across our Western Cape schools, we are seeing students who combine academic ambition with adaptability, creativity and strong personal values. These results reflect not only effective teaching and learning, but young people who have learned how to think critically, manage pressure and contribute positively to their communities. That balance of excellence and character is what prepares them to thrive in a rapidly changing world.”

Alex Gitlin, Head of Reddam House Constantia, said the results speak to both academic discipline and personal growth: “What stands out for me is the breadth of excellence across this cohort. We are seeing high achievement in sciences, arts, languages and applied subjects, which reflects a learning culture that values curiosity, resilience and independent thinking.

"These students have approached challenge with maturity and purpose, and we are incredibly proud of the young people they are becoming, not only the results they have achieved.”
