Broadgreen International School is a foundation school located in Liverpool, England [2] that specialises in the subject areas of ICT, Design Technology, Mathematics and Science. It was formerly known as Broadgreen High School, Broadgreen Community Comprehensive[4] and Highfield Comprehensive School.

Technology

In 2011 Broadgreen International School installed fingerprint recognition systems, for pupils who arrived late at the school.[5]

In 2012 a new rewards system, Vivo Miles, was implanted; encouraging students to take part in activities.[6]

In 2013 another use of the fingerprint system was implemented to give access to pupils scanning their fingerprint to get their lunch rather than using their dinner card.

Transformation

Between 2003 and 2007, the school went under a major transformation. This has produced a number of new buildings within the school grounds which include a sports hall, a drama studio, bistro and dining room.
The school was celebrated with a rededication ceremony presided by Prince Edward, the Earl of Wessex.

Sixth Form

The school operates the International Baccalaureate, which has been available at the school since 1992.[7]

Along with the IB, the school also offers a small variety of vocational courses including BTEC certifications.

The school made an appearance on the Financial Times Top IB schools, placing 61st out of the 62 schools which offer the course to more than 10 students.[8]
