Aspirations

We support your child to develop key skills and qualities which are sought by universities and future employers alike, such as communication, creativity and international-mindedness. 

Preparing for the future 

Our students’ high academic standards and engagement in extra-curricular activities mean that they are well-equipped for higher education when they graduate from BVIS. Universities particularly value our International A Level program because it develops confident learners, deep subject knowledge, and excellent critical thinking skills. 

Because of our instructional rigour and commitment to academic excellence, our International GCSE and A Level results consistently exceed those of peer schools in the UK. As a result, our students place themselves superbly for entry into leading universities worldwide, and are highly successful in securing places at their first-choice institutions. 

Popular university destination countries include the United States, Australia and the United Kingdom. BVIS graduates have recently received offers from universities in the The Netherlands, Singapore, Japan, Switzerland and China. 

Recognitions 

In addition to regular praise and feedback from teachers, we also recognise and celebrate achievement through our House system and the Principal’s Awards at the end of every term. These rewards foster both individual and team motivation to do well and continue to grow as citizens. 

The Principal’s Awards are a particular source of pride for our students. They recognise personal success achieved in class or extracurricular activities and are open to every child. 

Students receive certificates during a special whole-school assembly to honour their achievement in areas such as academics, performing arts and student leadership, or for evidencing in their school life qualities such as respect, care, integrity and perseverance.
