📸 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.

Today, all BSB campuses joined @cognitaschools to celebrate #GlobalBeWellDay2025 — a day filled with connection, wellbeing and shared learning. 

📚 Early Years enjoyed a special story time together, along with fun wellbeing activities like shared reading, yoga and more playful moments that brought joy and calm. 

📖 Primary classes connected across BSB campuses Castelldefels, Sitges and City and even with children in Chile! 

🎶 Secondary came together through our joyful House Song Competition at BSB Castelldefels — congratulations to Electric for the win! 

🌍 Pre-U students at BSB City welcomed visitors from the American Stamford school from Singapore, with Year 12 leading Spanish workshops and cultural exchanges.   

✨ Global Be Well Day is a reminder that education is about more than academics — it’s about caring for ourselves, each other, and the world around us.

📚 This week, our Year 2 and Year 3 students in Castelldefels stepped outside to explore the world around them.

🌊 Year 2 discovered the beach just beyond our school, while Year 3 went on a nature walk through the nearby green areas.

✨ These outdoor experiences deepen their understanding of the term`s curriculum and help them make connections to the real world, sparking their curiosity and bringing learning to life.

“At BSB, reflection is at the heart of meaningful learning,” says Mark Woodward, Headteacher of Secondary & Pre-U at BSB Castelldefels.

📝 Reflection enables students to pause, think critically about their progress, and recognise both strengths and areas for growth. By reflecting, they learn to adapt their approaches, take ownership of their learning, and turn challenges into opportunities.

🌟 In every subject and every lesson, reflection helps our students become resilient, independent learners — building skills that last far beyond the classroom.

🌲 This week, our Year 7 and Year 10 students from BSB Castelldefels spent a day in Montseny enjoying outdoor team building activities.

🤝 It was the perfect opportunity to bond with new classmates, strengthen friendships, and prepare for their exciting journeys as they entered Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4.

🌟 Connecting with nature and working together as a team is a powerful way to start the school year and get ready for the challenges - and achievements - ahead.
