Why iBOS Sixth Form
A real school behind every screen.
iBOS teachers deliver lessons from the school’s London base, which supports consistent teaching, safeguarding oversight and the accountable school structure families expect.
University guidance is part of the programme
Course research, subject fit, applications, UCAS and personal statement support, references and individual guidance are treated as part of Sixth Form, not an optional extra at the end.
Recognition you can check
iBOS is accredited by the Department for Education after an Ofsted inspection found the school met all the minimum standards, and is accredited by the Council of International Schools. The primary records are public.
Flexible schooling that is still a school
For pupils who need a different setting, including young athletes and performers, the timetable, attendance and qualifications stay those of one accountable school. Learning-support needs are discussed openly with Admissions before a place is offered.
Sixth Form at iBOS
International A Levels chosen around the next step.
Students take fewer subjects than at iGCSE so they can develop the depth, argument and independent study expected before university. Admissions and the academic team consider prior attainment, strengths and intended degree or career routes before confirming a programme.
The published International A Level offer
Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, Further Mathematics, Economics, Business, Geography, History, Law, Psychology, English Language and English Literature.
Guidance from the start of Year 12
International A Levels are accepted by universities in the UK and worldwide. Former iBOS students have gone on to universities including Imperial College London, King’s College London, UCL, Loughborough, York and Yale.
- Course and destination research
- UCAS and personal statement support
- References and individual guidance
Results are published year by year with cohort context beside every figure. A past destination does not guarantee admission for a future applicant.

6 questions
Questions families ask first
Will my child have friends and a social life?
School is shared, not solitary. Pupils attend live lessons, form time and assemblies with the same classmates, clubs and enrichment let them meet others beyond their timetable, and student council and leadership roles give them an active part in school life.
How many hours a day is my child online?
The school day runs Monday to Friday in UK time. It starts at 07:15 with form time or an assembly, followed by five one-hour live lessons with a fifteen-minute morning break and a full lunch break away from the screen. The taught day ends at 13:45; optional enrichment clubs run until 14:45 on club days.
What do parents need to do?
School staff teach, assess, report and manage the academic programme. Families support routines, equipment, communication and wellbeing, but they are not expected to replace subject teachers. A stable connection of at least 8 Mbps download and 4 Mbps upload is recommended for live lessons.
Are the qualifications recognised?
Yes. iBOS teaches Pearson Edexcel International A Levels and is a JCQ-approved examination centre. Students sit the same examinations and receive the same Pearson Edexcel certificates as candidates from any other school, and International A Levels are accepted by universities in the UK and worldwide.
Can my child move to a traditional school later?
iBOS follows the British curriculum by year group, and pupils receive school reports during the year. International GCSE and International A Level certificates are issued by Pearson Edexcel, the same certificates candidates from any other school receive. Admissions can talk through a planned move at the family interview.
Can my child join during the school year?
Yes, where a place is available in the right year group. Admissions agrees a start date with the family, and teachers plan support to help pupils who join mid-year catch up with their class.
