Welcome from the Executive Principal of The British School of Barcelona

🌍 BSB students are world-ready!

🎓 A BSB education opens doors to a wide range of future possibilities. In 2025, our graduates have secured places at prestigious universities across Spain, the UK, Europe, the US, and Canada — even in an increasingly competitive environment.

🇪🇸 46% of our leavers are staying in Spain, joining top institutions like ESADE, University of Barcelona (UB), IE University, and La Salle.

🇬🇧 24% are heading to the UK, with offers from Cambridge, Warwick, King’s College London, Bristol, and UCL.

🌍 The remaining 30% are exploring other European universities. Wherever they go, our BSB Futures team is here to guide students and families every step of the way, helping them turn aspirations into reality.

🌟 At BSB, we support our families right from the start. This term, our Early Years team hosted Tapestry and Phonics workshops for Nursery & Reception parents, all through BSB Castelldefels and BSB Sitges Campuses

📖 These sessions provided practical tips on how learning is nurtured both at school and at home, helping parents feel confident and connected to their child’s journey.

🔔 Don’t forget to check Cognita Connect for upcoming workshop dates at your campus — these sessions are highly valuable, and strong communication between parents and school is key to every child’s success.

🗣️ At BSB Castelldefels, this week our Year 8 Secondary students explored the concept of solidarity through a coloquio (debating session) in their Spanish lesson.

💬 They practised using topic-specific vocabulary, strengthened their oracy skills by taking turns and respecting different viewpoints, and engaged in hard thinking while discussing real-life examples.

🌍 Beyond language learning, this activity helped them reflect on the value of solidarity and how to apply it in their everyday lives.

🌿 Here’s a glimpse of how our Year 3 students at BSB City spent a day immersed in nature at Forest School.

🎨 During the session, they explored how natural elements can be transformed into painting materials—just as people did in the Stone Age. This activity connects directly with their current inquiry theme: From the Stone Age to the Iron Age.

✨ From hands-on exploration to teamwork and outdoor learning, these experiences bring curiosity, resilience, and discovery to life outside the classroom.

✨ Learning beyond the classroom!

🧪 Year 11 took a deep dive into science with an inspiring visit to CRAM, a non-profit organisation dedicated to marine conservation.

🚣‍♂️ Meanwhile, Year 9 explored the Olympic Canal for Global Be Well Day, combining outdoor activity, personal development, and quality time connecting with classmates.

🌟 Experiences like these connect classroom learning to real-world challenges, foster teamwork and strengthen bonds along the way.

📸 A special visit!

🌍 Students from Stamford American International School (@stamford_american) in Singapore joined our Pre-University students at BSB City for a day of activities linked to the Spanish and Catalan languages and culture. 

🗣️ They took part in a variety of speaking exercises, connected with peers across @cognitaschools during Global Be Well Day, learnt more about our local culture, enjoyed a fun quiz, toured the school, and shared lunch together in the Forum. 

💬 The team from Stamford American shared: “From the moment we arrived, we felt truly at home thanks to the extraordinary efforts of your team. Your dedication—from the meticulously planned activities, the tours of your beautiful facilities, to providing meals and thoughtful support—made a lasting impression on everyone from SAIS. We are truly grateful for the generosity, kindness, and professionalism you showed us, which made our visit not just educational, but genuinely memorable.” 

✨ A fantastic opportunity for cultural exchange, language practice, and building international connections — all part of our commitment to global learning experiences.
