The GCSE and IGCSE are internationally-respected qualifications studied by students aged 14-16 years old. Respected by employers and universities, they cover a broad range of core subjects including maths, English and Science, as well as world languages, humanities, social sciences, ,Art, Drama and Music. They are the most academically challenging qualifications currently on offer to 14-16 year old students worldwide and many candidates go on to study the International Baccalaureate.

Our students' results for 2020 exceed the UK average for GCSEs (General Certificate of Secondary Education) and IGCSEs (International GCSE).  In 2020 98% of students  achieved 5A*- C grades. 

The continued success in GCSE and IGCSE results is a testament of BISH’s high academic standards, excellent teaching and the hard work and dedication of students. Students continue to significantly outperform UK national averages, with attainment levels increasing year-on-year.
