Welcome from the Executive Principal of The British School of Barcelona

✨ This week, our BSB Nexus Digital Leaders visited BSB Sitges and BSB City to take part in assemblies, guiding our Primary students on responsible smartphone use.

💬 They didn’t just share key safety measures, but also took the time to answer thoughtful questions from our younger pupils about online security, helping them feel informed and confident in the digital world.

👩‍‍💻 Our Digital Leaders are Year 12 and Year 13 students involved in REACH Beyond Society, where they support younger learners in developing digital literacy, safe internet habits, and a deeper understanding of today’s technological world, while growing their own leadership skills along the way.

🌍 We love seeing this cross-campus collaboration and such inspiring role models making a real impact across the BSB community!

🌟 Mistakes Can Be Beautiful

🎨 This week, our BSB Sitges Primary students explored the idea that mistakes are opportunities to learn. Using the BSB Learning Habit of Creativity, they turned spilled ink and coffee marks into creative artworks, discovering that even when things go wrong, something beautiful can emerge.

👫 Assembly time is more than a gathering—it’s a chance for children to socialise across year groups, express their ideas, and speak confidently in front of an audience, building skills they will carry through every year of their education.

🏫 From the youngest Primary students to Year 13, BSB assemblies nurture creativity, communication, and confidence, helping students learn to embrace challenges and see mistakes as stepping stones to growth.

🎓 As our Year 11 Options Evening approaches, we’re highlighting this important moment of the year for our students at BSB City and BSB Castelldefels as they begin to plan their future pathways.

📖 Year 11 students are encouraged to reflect on their strengths, interests and future aspirations when selecting A Level subjects (offered at BSB Nexus) or the IB Diploma Programme (available at both campuses).

🔍 These programmes are more demanding than IGCSE, so making informed decisions now - guided by academic reports, teacher feedback and open conversations at home – is key.

🎓 Whether students have a clear university goal or are still exploring their options, tools like Unifrog, alongside personalised support from teachers and our Futures Team, help ensure choices are aligned with future study and career pathways.

☀️Whether it’s water play, time in the mud kitchen, or sand-castle construction, our Early Years pupils make the most of every season in our outdoor areas.

🍂 Feeling the sun, watching shadows change, and seeing how rain has transformed mud into something malleable helps children connect with the rhythms of nature.

🏗️ Our purpose-built outdoor environments are designed to spark curiosity and encourage active exploration. With large play areas and stimulating natural materials, children are free to experiment, collaborate, and turn their ideas into reality - building confidence, independence, and social skills along the way.

🌈 Play and exploration, active learning, flexible spaces, intentional teaching, and family collaboration are key pillars of our Early Years philosophy. You can learn more about our EYFS approach booking a visit to our campuses in Sitges, Castelldefels, Barcelona or Maresme via the link in our bio. Open Days available too!

🌍 International Day of Education 2026: Celebrating the Power of Youth in Co-Creating Education.

👫 Young people under 30 make up more than half of the world’s population. They are a driving force for sustainable development, innovation, and social change.

📚 UNESCO reminds us that education systems are strongest when young people are active partners, not just learners. Their voices, ideas, and creativity shape schools, national policies, and international programmes - because the future depends on it.

🏫 At BSB, we bring this vision to life. From early on, our students take many leadership roles, such as sports leaders, eco-warriors, project creators, student counselors, and mentors for younger students, learning to lead responsibly and inspire others.

💡We focus on wellbeing, positive experiences, creativity, and personal growth, helping students develop the skills, confidence, and global mindset they will need to thrive in life.

🌟 By nurturing inventors, creators, and changemakers, we empower our students to co-create their learning, make a difference in their communities, and shape a better world - just as UNESCO envisions.
