British secondary foundations followed by the IB
Oporto British School provides English-medium education in Porto. Its secondary pathway broadly follows the UK National Curriculum at Key Stage 3, then prepares students for later qualifications and the IB Diploma. The school also describes a learning-development department.
This sequence is useful to distinguish from an IB continuum that begins in primary school. Families planning a transfer should ask how previous subjects map to the intended stage and what support is available for a particular learning need. For the final school years, review the Diploma subject options directly rather than inferring them from the broader British-school label.
