Curriculum
Our school will follow at its heart the English National Curriculum and its core beliefs with appropriate updates to reflect the local area, its culture and history
Students in their final years at BBIS will sit internationally recognised iGCSEs and international A/S and A levels allowing them, subject to their final grades, to apply to study at universities around the world.
We have an agreement with Pearson/Edexcel, a major provider of an international curriculum, regarding the use of their resources from Early Years to Sixth form (K-12) including all examinations (including international GCSE and international AS/A levels) - subject to final approval following a virtual site visit. A copy of the letter is here.
More details on the Pearson/Edexcel iProgress can be found here.
