BSB is the only international school in Belgium which offers three pre-university programmes:  \n• Advanced Levels (A Levels)  \n• International Business and Technology Education Council Qualification (BTEC Level 3)  \n• International Baccalaureate Diploma (IB) .  \nThese include:  \n• More than 25 IB subjects  \n• More than 20 A Level subjects  \n• 3 BTEC subjects  \nWe have high academic standards. Typically, around half of our students gain the highest A*/A grades at A Level which is significantly above national levels. The pass rate and points average in the IB Diploma are typically much higher than the worldwide average and among the very best results in the world. BTEC students consistently achieve a 100% pass rate with the majority being awarded a Distinction/Distinction* .  \nThere is an extensive range of enrichment activities available for our students and opportunities are provided for the development of their leadership skills.  \nWhat does Secondary School look like?  \n\n| Year groups | Age | Programme of study | Other information |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Years 7-9 | 11-14 | A broad curriculum | • Solid foundation in a wide range of subjects |\n| Years 10-11 | 14-16 | Exam years\u003Cbr>• (International) General Certificate of Secondary Education\u003Cbr>• BTEC Level 2 in Business also available asan option | • Two-year programme\u003Cbr>• Exams at the end of Year 11\u003Cbr>• 6 core subjects and 4 option choices\u003Cbr>• BTEC is vocational and is continually assessed |\n| Years 12-13 | 16-18 | Pre-university exam years\u003Cbr>• A Level\u003Cbr>• IB\u003Cbr>• BTEC | Two-year programmes\u003Cbr>• A Level and IB have final exams\u003Cbr>• 3 subjects for A Level\u003Cbr>• 6 subjects for IB\u003Cbr>• Entry criteria apply |\n\nAssessment and reporting  \n• Students are regularly assessed in class  \n• School reports are issued four times in Year 12 and three times in Year 13  \n• Parents are invited to sessions to discuss their child’s progress around the time of each report  \n• BTEC is continually assessed  \n• IB and A Level courses have internal exams at the end of Year 12 and students must be on track to meet the passing criteria of the IB Diploma or at least E grades in each A Level to progress into Year 13  \n• In Year 13 internal exams take place in the 2nd half of the Autumn term with final external exams taking place between April and June of year 13  \nUpdated October 2023  \n02  \nPost-16 Pathways  \nOverview  \nFrom these three programmes, we offer four Post-16 Pathways which provide an avenue for all BSB students to not only find academic success, but also feel equipped with the skills and approaches to learning needed to thrive in their chosen life beyond Secondary School. Each Post-16 Pathway leads to the awarding of a particular qualification or diploma, recognised by higher education institutions around the world. The awarded qualification, as well as the student’s individually achieved results, will determine the scope of higher education institutions for which the student may be eligible to apply for admission. Consideration about which countries and/or institutions accept a particular qualification is essential before final decisions about pathways are made.  \nResearch into any specifically desired university admissions requirements is essential by students and parents throughout this process. Support for this research is embedded into the Post-16 Pathway Options process from members of the Higher Education and BSB Futures team.  \nGuidance for choosing the ‘right’ Pathway  \nOur Post-16 Pathways are equally valued at BSB and allow for a choice of pathway best suited to support a student’s individual growth and development towards future goals. Students are encouraged to pursue the most appropriately challenging pathway for their desired plans ","cbCaihhO7nU55Tdy","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihhO7nU55Tdy","pdf",5238721,12,"English","# Welcome to Post-16\n## Post-16: Years 12-13 Course Guide 2024-2025\n## What does Secondary School look like?\n## Assessment and reporting\n# Post-16 Pathways\n## Overview\n## Guidance for choosing the ‘right’ Pathway\n## Prior factors for students and parents\n# Post-16 Pathways Options Process\n## Support Team","[{\"question\":\"What pre-university programmes are offered in Post-16 (Years 12-13)?\",\"answer\":\"Post-16 provides three pre-university programmes: A Levels, BTEC Level 3, and the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma.\"},{\"question\":\"How are students assessed and reported in Years 12 and 13?\",\"answer\":\"Students are regularly assessed in class, with school reports issued four times in Year 12 and three times in Year 13.
