IB (Years 12 - 13)

Years 12 and 13, traditionally referred to as the 'Sixth Form', are the final years of schooling during which students follow a course of study which will allow them entrance to universities around the world.

Those students wishing to undertake these two additional years of study, are required to demonstrate an appropriate level of academic ability as well as a positive attitude towards the commitment this level of education requires. PBS students, and those coming from other British schools, need to have achieved well in their IGCSEs to continue – other students coming from different educational systems will be assessed as part of the admissions process. School reports and examinations results all help to provide staff with an overview of a student's ability.

The Programme of Study is The International Baccalaureate, known as the IB.  This increasingly popular two year course equips students with a wide ranging educational experience and also allows students to develop as independent learners and critical thinkers.

Students study:

  • World Literature
  • Modern Foreign Language
  • Mathematics
  • Science
  • Humanity
  • The Arts

In addition students complete; Theory of Knowledge, Creativity Action and Service and undertake an Extended Essay on a topic of their choosing.
