  • The school closed permanently on 15 December 2023 after a long pattern of financial problems.
  • The dominant review signal is from teachers and ex-staff. Aggregated staff sentiment was very low, with consistent reports that salaries were paid late or not paid at all and that teachers went on strike in September 2017 over unpaid wages.
  • A short closure followed in 2018 over financial issues; the 2023 closure ended a multi-year pattern rather than a single shock.
  • Some alumni voices speak warmly about their student years there in the 2000s, but those reviews predate the financial collapse and are not relevant to current families.
  • For families researching the school name today, the practical read is that BISS is closed and the historical signal turns on staff non-payment.

Positives

  • Alumni nostalgia. Older alumni from the 2000s speak warmly about their school years, well before the financial decline

Considerations

  • Closure. School closed permanently in December 2023 following recurring financial failures
  • Staff non-payment. Multi-year reports of late or unpaid salaries, including a 2017 teacher strike
