On Thursday, 19th June, The British School of Barcelona proudly celebrated the graduation of our Year 13 students in the beautiful Jardí de les Palmeres. This year’s exceptional ceremony marked a milestone in the history of BSB as it gathered together the graduate cohort from BSB Nexus and the inaugural graduating class from BSB City.

A total of 164 students crossed the stage to receive their diplomas, surrounded by proud families, teachers, and friends. The evening blended celebration and reflection, enhanced by outstanding musical performances delivered by students alongside inspiring addresses given by Jake Richardson (Head of Secondary and Pre-University at BSB City), Urvashi Ghantiwala (Head of Year 13 at BSB Nexus), Sarah Baines (Assistant Headteacher of BSB Nexus), and our Executive Principal Neil Tetley. Recent graduates from across campuses also shared their fondest memories with the audience.

This moment was more than just a farewell: it was a celebration of a transformative journey. Their school years have equipped them with not only academic prowess but also character, resilience, and a growth mindset shaped during their time at BSB.

From BSB to the World
While three students from this year’s cohort have received offers to study at the University of Cambridge and Stanford University, many others have also secured places at top institutions both in Spain and internationally. To mention a few, our graduates will further their education at King’s College London, University College London, The London School of Economics, Imperial College London, University of St Andrews and Amsterdam University College.

The picture is equally strong in Spain, with students heading to Esade Business School, IE University, Universitat de Barcelona and La Salle, among others. A full update on the destinations for all graduates will be provided once all placement confirmations have been received.

These offers reflect the hard work, passion, and commitment of our students as well as the unwavering support of our teachers and the Futures Team, who have guided them every step of the way.

Saying Goodbye, Looking Ahead
As the Class of 2025 steps into the next chapter of their lives, we are confident they will carry with them everything they have learnt during their time at BSB. The future is theirs to shape, and we look forward to seeing the positive impact they will make in the world. Congratulations to all our graduates — now proud BSB Alumni!
