🎵 In early childhood, music is more than fun—it’s a foundation for learning.

💛 At BSB Sitges, our Pre-Nursery learners light up during music time. It’s one of their favourite moments of the day!

🗣 BSB Sitges Headteacher Emily Henderson reminds us:️ “Any little activity of short burst activity of up to 15 minutes, 2–3 times per day over a period of weeks or months, makes a big difference when learning English — this is especially evident through nursery rhymes and songs. It feels like play, and it’s so engaging and fun!”

💡Skills. Confidence. Resilience.

💬 “At BSB, thinking is what happens after curiosity asks ‘why?’” — Jake Richardson, Headteacher of BSB City Secondary and Pre-University.

🎨 In our latest Learning Habits series, we dive into how we nurture deep, meaningful thinking at BSB.

🛠️ We encourage our students to explore, reflect, and persist —because it’s in the process itself where lasting learning happens.

💭 From challenging ideas to engaging with new perspectives and tools, we’re developing critical thinkers.

🎒 Big Steps, Bright Starts: From EY to Primary

✨ Starting Primary school is a big moment — and an exciting one too! Our BSB City EY & Primary Headteacher, Nicola Davies, shares 4 top tips to help families support their little ones:

💬 “The transition to primary school is a big milestone in a child’s development, which offers children a chance to grow in independence, resilience, and social awareness. With gentle preparation and positive messaging, the move to primary school becomes an opportunity for children to discover new skills, build friendships, and take pride in becoming “big school children.”

1️⃣ Acknowledge it’s a big change
2️⃣ Use positive, empowering language
3️⃣ Build steady routines at home
4️⃣ Build a strong partnership with the school

💛 Let’s work together to help every child step forward feeling safe, confident, and ready to thrive.

🪑 It’s only been a few weeks since term ended, and while our Summer Schools are still buzzing, some corners of our campuses feel a little too quiet.

💙 Empty classrooms remind us just how much we miss the laughter, energy and voices of our students.

📆 September can’t come soon enough — but until then, we hope everyone is enjoying a restful and recharging summer break.

☀️ And if you miss us too much, remember Summer School runs until the 31st of July!

🏑 There’s More Than One Way to Play

⚽ You may have seen our football teams in action last week — but at BSB, we encourage students to try a wide variety of sports. Whether it`s in PE lessons, after-school clubs, or federated teams, sport plays a big role in our everyday learning.

🎯 From fencing to taekwondo, tennis to handball, rugby to netball, and many more, it’s all about discovering passions, building confidence, and having fun along the way.

📸 Here’s a glimpse of our Castelldefels Primary students trying out hockey! New skills, new experiences, and lots of fun.

💪 Sport at BSB helps build grit, resilience, teamwork, and self-discipline. It also enhances mental and physical wellbeing, which sits at the heart of our school life.
