Terms
BCS provides a nurturing, forward-thinking environment in which our pupils flourish both inside and outside the classroom in preparation to become the new generation of world shapers. Our warm, welcoming environment and small size allows for strong and lasting relationships to be developed. Our aim as a senior school is to help our children reach beyond their potential; both academically and through our highly respected enrichment programme. Pastoral care has always been highly esteemed, with our team specifically skilled to coach, support and develop our pupils through their senior school years. The Heads of Year and their tutor teams support and monitor the pupils’ progress through the school, working with them, their teachers, and parents. We believe a strong parent partnership combined with an expert pastoral system is key to enabling the pupils to fulfil their potential. Inevitably, there will be challenges throughout their teenage years; we aim to support the pupils in navigating these challenges for themselves, building self-efficacy and preparing for the world beyond school. "We encourage our pupils to strive to be the best they can, to take pleasure from small things, to practice gratitude and kindness and to enjoy their school years and the opportunities provided."
