Accredited as Outstanding in Every Category

🚀 BSB City is now a recognised NRICH Problem-Solving School!

🎉 We are delighted to announce that our Barcelona campus has been recognised as an NRICH Problem-Solving School through the prestigious University of Cambridge initiative.

🧠 NRICH is part of the University of Cambridge’s Millennium Mathematics Project and supports schools in developing students’ problem-solving, reasoning and critical-thinking skills through rich mathematical enquiry and exploration.

🧩 For our students, this recognition reflects an approach to learning that goes beyond finding the right answer. Students are encouraged to explore different strategies, justify their thinking and develop the confidence to tackle unfamiliar problems independently, through collaboration, discussion and challenge.

💡 The accreditation also aligns with BSB’s focus on Hard Thinking—encouraging students to embrace challenge, think deeply and develop the resilience needed to become successful lifelong learners. These skills are increasingly important in a world shaped by rapid technological change and AI.

🌟 We are proud to see BSB City recognised for its commitment to preparing students not only for academic success, but for the opportunities and challenges of the future.

✨ What a special night at BSB City! ✨
 
🎉 Our Year 11 Prom at BSB City was a truly special celebration of the end of an important chapter. After completing their IGCSEs, our students came together with families, friends and teachers to mark the end of their Secondary journey and celebrate all they have achieved.
 
🎶 The evening was filled with memorable moments, from fantastic performances by our BSB City student band to speeches and Excellence Awards recognising the hard work, dedication and achievements of our students.
 
🌟 Held in The Forum — a space usually reserved for our IB students — the event symbolised an exciting step forward, as our Year 11s prepare to move from the blue-striped Secondary uniform to the next stage of their academic journey.
 
💙We are incredibly proud of each and every one of them. Their resilience and growth over the past years have been truly inspiring.
 
✨ Congratulations, Year 11! We wish you every success in the future and can’t wait to see what comes next.

☀️ COLONIAS, COLONIAS & MORE COLONIAS!

🌊 One of the most anticipated highlights of the summer term, colonias give our Primary pupils from BSB City, BSB Sitges and BSB Castelldefels the chance to explore different corners of Catalonia, whether surrounded by nature or by the sea.

🌟 Alongside friends and teachers, they spend a few unforgettable days embracing new adventures, taking on outdoor challenges and enjoying experiences they wouldn`t normally have in the classroom.

🎪 From climbing and ziplining to water games, circus workshops, the highly-anticipated disco and so much more, there is never a shortage of excitement! These are moments our pupils cherish year after year, creating lasting memories, building confidence, strengthening friendships and connecting with nature along the way.

📚 From the classroom to Carrer Bonaire: bringing Oh, the Places You`ll Go! to life through flowers.

🌸 This weekend, the BSB Sitges community proudly returned to Carrer Bonaire to take part in the beautiful tradition of Corpus Sitges 2026 with our very own catifa floral.

✨ Measuring 15.5m x 2m, our catifa was designed by one of our talented students and inspired by the Dr. Seuss book Oh, the Places You`ll Go!, which our pupils studied at the beginning of the school year. The design celebrated imagination, journeys, and the many paths that connect us as a community.

💐 From the early hours of Sunday morning, BSB students, families, staff, and members of the wider community came together for a full day of preparation, transforming flowers into a stunning work of art. It was wonderful to see so many volunteers helping to bring this special project to life and keeping this cherished local tradition alive.

🤝 Participating in Corpus is one of the many ways we strengthen our connection with the Sitges community while celebrating Catalan culture and traditions together.

💛 Thank you to everyone who helped create our catifa, as well as those who stopped by to admire it throughout the day. This project was a wonderful celebration of creativity, collaboration, and community spirit, showing what can be achieved when we work together towards a shared vision.
