BSW celebrates a year of remarkable achievements, from exciting trips and sports victories to inspiring performances and academic success, all while preparing for a future of even greater possibilities as it approaches its 10th anniversary.
BSW has walked the walk of the lion with great success and resilience this year. The school had events, improvements and achievements that have impacted positively on our school community as we approach our 10th anniversary. Pupils, parents and staff have contributed immensely to our academic, creative and sports accomplishments. Our school is built on values and while we look back on many successes we are also eagerly awaiting the completion of the new wings of the school so that we have the resources and facilities to match our ambition.”

BSW Year 9 pupils graduated this year with fantastic results giving these talented pupils access to prestigious high schools in Poland and around the world.
Ms Monika Smith, Year 9 class teacher, said in the heartfelt wishes to the 2024 graduates “Work hard, aim high and follow your dreams”.
In Spring, 2024 we were proud to stage two school productions on a professional stage. ‘The Boy’ was an adaptation of a children’s novel ‘The Boy at the Back of the Class’ and performed by an amazing cast of Year 5-7 children. The musical ‘Grease’ was a sweet love story with rock’n’roll music, lots of dancing and singing done by our talented Y7-8 cast.
“Theatre provides entertainment to its audiences but it is also a safe space to tell an important story. We had a balance of both this year. ‘The Boy’ emphasised the power of friendship and empathy towards a young refugee boy. On the other hand, ‘Grease’ made the audience sing and dance in their seats to the timeless hits of the 80s. For our actors, it was a very strong bonding experience, as each play took five months to prepare.”
