SUMMER INTENSIVE COURSE AT BRITISH SCHOOLS: ALZIRA & XÀTIVA
We are pleased to announce that this year the Intensive Summer Course will be available at both British School Xàtiva and British School Alzira. Therefore, all Secondary and Sixth Form students who wish to enrol will be able to attend the course at either BSA or BSX facilities.
What is the Intensive Summer Course?
The Intensive Summer Course at British School Alzira-Xàtiva-Gandia offers students the opportunity to reinforce, review and extend academic knowledge acquired during the school year in Secondary and Sixth Form.
This summer course has proven to be highly effective, providing personalised academic support through small-group summer classes. Each student follows an individualised timetable tailored to their needs, making this an excellent option within our British summer schools offering.
Who can attend the Intensive Summer Course?
1-. The Intensive Course is an excellent opportunity to strengthen and consolidate knowledge gained throughout the year, especially in key subjects from the British Curriculum. Its aim is to help students achieve improved academic results in the following year. Any student currently enrolled may register for this summer school course and benefit from a fully personalised revision and support programme.
2-. New students joining the school: This summer intensive course is also ideal for students new to our schools. It allows them to begin the academic year with a strong foundation in the British Curriculum, which is essential for a smooth integration into our academic environment.
3-. As outlined in the school’s Promotion Policy, students who receive the following grades in the third term are required to attend the Intensive Course:
KS3
YEAR 7 – YEAR 8 – YEAR 9
- Developing
- Below
- Insuficiente
KS4
YEAR 10 – YEAR 11
- Level 3
- Level 2
- Level 1
- Insuficiente
4-. For Key Stage 5 (Year 12), we recommend that students who have received an estimated grade of “e” or “u” in the third term of the British Curriculum attend the Intensive Course. Regarding subjects within the Spanish Curriculum, students who have received an “Insufficient” grade must retake the corresponding subject(s).
Third-term reports will be sent to families during the week of 16th June. The Psychopedagogical Department will contact you in advance if we believe that certain students should reinforce specific subjects in the Intensive Course.
