BSG celebrates 13 Outstanding Pearson Learner Awards

Outstanding Pearson Learner Awards (OPLAs) are prestigious global honours presented annually by the Pearson Edexcel exam board to students outside the UK who achieve the highest exam results

07-06-2026

To receive an award, a student must achieve the highest raw mark and the highest possible grade in a single subject within their cohort.

The Outstanding Pearson Learner Awards programme categorizes excellence into three distinct geographic levels:

  • Highest Mark in the World: Given to the learner who scores the highest absolute mark globally for that subject.
  • Highest Mark in the Region: Awarded to the top scorer across a broader geographic region (e.g., Europe, Africa, Middle East, Asia).
  • Highest Mark in the Country: Awarded to the top scorer within an individual nation

In 2025, BSG students received no fewer than 13 OPLAs, a testament to the high quality of teaching and learning that is a hallmark of our school.
