Put simply, it is….‘…a coherent approach that aligns education, training, skills and employment services’, that will enable BBIH students to ‘develop the skills, qualifications, and experience they need to succeed in their careers and to make a positive contribution to our society and economy’.[1] This is embodied by our Trust’s approach to raising standards in education for all, as we believe every young person deserves to have the best education possible.

The Trust vision was born out of the need for this type of alternative, high quality, human scale provision. Our students come from a variety of school experiences – with the common characteristic that mainstream provision is not meeting their needs or enabling them to realise their full potential. BBIH provides that rigorous, alternative progression route.

Our curriculum vision is not about equivalence, but a different type of success underpinned by a mentoring programme that puts young people at the heart of their future and their future success. Our vision is one that provides aspirational work related qualifications and pathways with a variety of exit routes at all levels to suit an individual and their choices. This, in turn, is supplemented by creative opportunities that extend beyond the core curriculum.The vision is built on a foundation of strong parental links and involvement coupled with the belief that all students, irrespective of race, faith, gender or background are entitled to

The vision is built on a foundation of strong parental links and involvement coupled with the belief that all students, irrespective of race, faith, gender or background are entitled to consistent, high-quality learning experiences. This will, in turn, lead to successful outcomes and futures and guarantee that our young people are equipped with the independence, resilience and social capital required in the 21st Century world.
