Dulwich Pudong Students Win ‘Top in World’ and ‘Top in China’
Dulwich College Shanghai Pudong is delighted to celebrate three of our remarkable students winning ‘Top in World’ and ‘Top in China’ Awards during their IGCSE examinations.
We are proud to announce that Sophie Z has been awarded the ‘Top in World’ award for Pearson Edexcel GCSE Graphic Communication, recognising her talent and dedication with the highest possible grade.
Sophie was not alone; Dulwich Pudong’s Daria M, received the ‘Top in China’ award for Pearson Edexcel GCSE Fine Art, a recognition that launches her as one of the most promising young artists in the country.
We also had a third award for Roy W, who received the ‘Top in China’ award for Cambridge IGCSE Music. His award spotlights his boundless passion, creative vision, and the bright future he is composing for himself in the arts.
We are immensely proud of the outstanding achievements of our three students and look forward to them shining in their IB programme.

Part of a Legacy
Their successes continue Dulwich Pudong's strong tradition of cultivating top students. Our IGCSE programme delivers outstanding results year after year, including:
· 100% pass rate for two consecutive years
· 86% of students achieving A* – A grades
· 44% of candidates earning all A*s or As
This consistent success is made possible by the personalised support our teachers provide.
As William Hutchings explains, “Our teachers build strong, supportive relationships that help students find real purpose in their work, which in turn fuels their motivation.” It is this dedicated environment that allows every student to confidently engage with their learning and reach their potential.
