Do you know anyone who has gone there before? Maybe you could ask them.
Also, did you go to the school before (I know you can't go anymore) - did you see any of the classes, did it seem like they were being well supported/ was there a lot/good teacher-student engagement.

I know that BHASVIC is a very good sixthform.... it gets some of the best results for state schools, so I'd presume they do give some pretty good advice.
I know that wasn't much help but @Apad121 knows much more about it than me.

As @_Mia101 was saying, BHASVIC achieves some of the very top A level results for any state school in the country.

They are strongly promoting the idea of "Flipped learning", this means that the lessons themselves are largely just going over questions from homework or preparatory tasks set.

There seems to be a fairly large amount of homework for a state school and the teachers there are all A level only teachers. This allows them to give you a fair bit of valuable information and advice to your homework tasks.

This of course varies from teacher to teacher. You only have one teacher per subject at BHASVIC unlike some schools splitting the courses into two teachers. This means that the quality of advice you get STRONGLY depends on the teacher that teaches your class. You may be lucky or unlucky to be honest.

A problem of having such a large school is that if you're struggling with your subject, you won't be able to easily go and find the head of the department for help because they likely won't have heard of you. Your predicted grades REALLY REALLY do depend on how well you get on with that particular teacher. Based on the people I've spoken to there, your quality of education is definitely a fair bit of a gamble. Don't let this scare you off though, no matter what it won't be terrible! If it was you can always request to change classes anyway!

If you ever fall behind they have their "infamous support plan" which involves additional sessions to get more contact time and even more advice to you. Saying this though, in practice I've heard students dread this and find it more time consuming that it's worth.

Hope this helps!
