Évaluation d'entrée pour les élèves

Entry assessment, trial day.

Brève description de l'évaluation d'entrée requise

Primary School: BBIS requires a trial day for all Primary applicants to assess their English, social, and academic skills. EYFS children participate in a half-day play session, while Year 1 and above join for a full day, completing tailored assessments such as reading, maths, and phonics checks. EAL learners take an additional English test. Decisions are based on trial day feedback, and students may start immediately if space allows or join a waiting list. Online assessments and parent-submitted videos may be requested for international applicants. Secondary School: All Secondary applicants take the CAT4 Cognitive Ability Assessment to evaluate key skills. EAL students complete an additional English test under verified conditions. Admission to MYP5 or the final Diploma Programme year is rare and considered only for exceptional cases, usually for transfers from other IB World Schools. Each applicant’s readiness is reviewed individually to ensure they can meet academic and social expectations.

Soutien à l'apprentissage proposé

The inclusion strategies align with the International Baccalaureate (IB) values, reflected in the newly developed Inclusion Policy. The school provides tailored support, including Speech and Language Therapy and TSMT Movement Therapy, which enhances physical and cognitive development for students with motor skill challenges. Staff members bring diverse skill sets to the team, including three special educational needs teachers, a psychologist who provides 1:1 support, and two counsellors within our inclusion team. To ensure effective provision management, the school has transitioned to the Edukey platform, which streamlines communication, reports, student passports, and learning plans.

L'école soutient les élèves doués et talentueux

The school has a comprehensive approach to supporting gifted, able, and talented students. Key elements of the policy include embedding enrichment opportunities tailored for exceptionally able students, such as academic clubs, maths squads, and advanced writing groups. The school celebrates students' passions and talents both in classrooms and assemblies, fostering a culture where strengths and interests are integral to the educational experience. Students can participate in competitions and after-school clubs to deepen their learning. Those with talents in Performing Arts have access to opportunities like clubs, concerts, and festivals. Inquiry-based learning and project-based programmes promote critical thinking and creativity, encouraging students to take risks as part of their learner profile. To further enhance support, the school is developing extension programmes in various curriculum areas.

Accès des élèves à un psychologue scolaire

Yes, the school provides access to an educational psychologist. Currently, 35 students across Primary and Secondary have educational psychologist reports. These reports guide the development of specialized support tailored to individual needs. Additionally, the school works closely with outside agencies to facilitate complex assessments when necessary. Based on these assessments, the school implements specialized support plans to ensure students receive the appropriate interventions and resources to succeed academically and personally.
