Education changes the world
2021 Cambridge Checkpoint Examinations
July 2021
-
Year 6 Results
Checkpoints for Year 6 students are externally assessed examinations that take place to assess learners at the end of the Primary programme before they move into Secondary.
The detailed report sent to us by Cambridge Assessment International Education (CAIE) clearly outlines strengths and weaknesses, allowing us to identify and address learner needs for the next stage of the pathway, the Lower Secondary Programme.
The students’ scores are on a 1 to 6 scale, with 6 being the maximum. A score above 5 represents an excellent level of achievement and a comprehensive understanding of curriculum content, while a score between 3 and 5 shows a good level of achievement and a secure level of understanding of curriculum content. A score of less than 3 indicates that more focus is needed on any areas of the curriculum the learner found challenging. These results give schools an international benchmark for learner performance. In this regard, we are proud to say that the current Year 6 students have done very well and scored at or above the international average for the three core subjects of English, Maths, and Science.
The results this year highlight the growth in comparison to our 2019 Checkpoint results: an increase of 23% in English, 16% in Maths, and 22% in Science. We are pleased to note that this improvement has not just been in one particular subject but across the 3 disciplines of English, Maths, and Science. We congratulate our students for their dedication and hard work.

Year 9 Results
Checkpoints are externally assessed examinations that take place at the end of year 9, when students move from Lower Secondary into Higher Secondary. The detailed report sent to us by Cambridge Assessment International Education (CAIE) clearly outlines strengths and weaknesses, allowing us to identify and address learner needs for the next stage of the pathway, the two-year Upper Secondary Programme, culminating in IGCSE examinations.
Scores are out of 6. A score above 5 represents an excellent level of achievement and a comprehensive understanding of curriculum content, while a score between 3 and 5 shows a good level of achievement and a secure level of understanding of curriculum content. A score of less than 3 indicates that more focus is needed on any areas of the curriculum the learner found challenging. These results give schools an international benchmark for learner performance. In this regard, we are proud to say that the current year 9 students have done very well and scored at or above the international average for the three core subjects of English, Maths, and Science.
We are particularly happy with the progress that has been made in students’ English language skills. Even though English is not the mother tongue of many of our students, they have scored over the international average in the English as a First Language exam. This represents a clear improvement for the school as a whole and is a commendable achievement. Furthermore, we take pride in our mathematics results, with 33% of our students scoring a “perfect” score on their examinations, with a maximum grade of 6, followed by 66% of the class with an excellent score. Overall, we congratulate our students for such a remarkable achievement in all three subjects.
Celebrating Outstanding Academic Success
June 2021
DELF (Diplôme d’Études en Langue Française) are official diplomas issued by the French Ministry of Education. They permit the certification of French language abilities. The DELF B1 test determines wether a student is competent enough to be independent. He/she can maintain interaction: he/she can understand and maintain a discussion and give his/her opinion. He/she is capable of dealing with situations likely to arise in daily life. The DELF B1 in France is also required to obtain the French nationality.
After only 7 months of learning the French language within the French programme in our CM2 class, we would like to congratulate Kevin for the excellence of his results. The first DELF exams, A1 Levels, are – in average – passed after a full academic year spent learning the language. The remarkable achievements of Kevin, jumping 2 levels on his first few months only of integration within the French programme are proof of his hard work and dedication. We are incredibly proud of you Kevin.
Herewith, we would also like to reach out to our community with a message from Kevin’s parents, that has filled our heart with compassion, gratitude and the utmost appreciation:
“Because of COVID-19, we are experiencing a number of changes in our daily lives and with regard to our educational environment.
Kevin and our family are experiencing more value in these difficult times through an educational philosophy based on the purpose of BCIS and the consistent efforts of all staff. I would like to express my deep gratitude for this part. I believe that 2021 is a new time of change for teachers and learners.
We are in a wave of a new paradigm called the Fourth Industrial Revolution. I think that it is the time where we are increasing the value of our experiences with our parents, who are from previous and older generations, and our children’s generation who are adjusting to the changes provided to them by intuition, and are facing the looming question of their ability to solve problems caused by COVID-19. Therefore, there are many concerns about the education and environment necessary for the future society.
In Eastern culture, where humility is a virtue, it is a culture and social climate in which it is taboo to tell stories about our children. I am ashamed, but I write carefully because the little achievements Kevin made are not the achievements of his parents, but the interest and love of many important people with whom he has a relationship. I think it would be nice to share the experience of happiness through these small achievements.
As part of this, I would like to share some news of Kevin’s small efforts.
My wife and I believe in your philosophy of education. We will do the best we can. We are very short, but if you have any needs, please let us know and we will help you further. Kevin’s Precious Times We are grateful for reminding us of the preciousness of our school and teachers. I wish you a happy day. We will do our best to have time to think more about education for the future of our children.
Best Regards
Byoungoho, Park and Anne
ps. In particular, Kevin’s homeroom teacher, We would also like to express my special gratitude to Ms. Virginie Turci.”
