Supporting High Achievement

Every student has different strengths and interests. At BST, we get to know our students and provide the support and challenge they need to reach their true potential.

Examination Results

Every year, our students take the internationally recognised IGCSEs inYear 11 and A-Levels in Years 12 and 13. Our academic results compare favourably with those of UK and international schools.
Our strongest students regularly achieve AAA and above at A-Level, including A*A*A*, with some achieving four or even five A* grades. BST students have also received numerous Outstanding Cambridge Learner Awards for the highest mark in Spain in a wide range of IGCSE and A-Level subjects.

Our students pursue a variety of ambitious academic pathways, including:

  • Maths, Physics and Computer Science — for engineering, technology and research.
  • Chemistry and Biology — for Medicine and related fields.
  • Math, Science, and Business — combining scientific and quantitative interests with business.
  • Languages and other disciplines — including three-language programmes and pathways shaped around individual strengths and aspirations.

We encourage students to develop as well-rounded individuals alongside pursuing excellence in their strongest fields. Many of our highest-achieving students combine their academic interests with sport, music, languages, humanities and the arts.

Helping Students Reach Their Potential

These achievements belong first and foremost to our students. They reflect their talent, ambition and hard work, supported by teachers who recognise their potential, challenge them to go further and help them pursue ambitious goals.

At BST, we encourage students to develop their strengths, follow their interests, challenge themselves and discover how far their abilities can take them. We support high achievement through personalised teaching, regular communication with families, appropriately challenging and advanced work, opportunities to take IGCSE and A-Level examinations early when appropriate, and participation in academic competitions and enrichment activities.
