About Us

Choosing a school is one of the most important decisions you will make for your child and I am delighted that you are considering a BSA education for your son or daughter. The BSA is dedicated to providing an education of the highest quality for our students. Children are encouraged to do their best at whatever they attempt, and to achieve their full potential in all areas. Our staff set the very highest standards, not only academically, but also in terms of behaviour and social skills. Our pastoral care provides support and understanding as children progress through the school and meet new challenges. Values such as compassion, respect and friendliness are an integral part of the school’s ethos. Clear boundaries and simple rules help make BSA a happy and safe place to learn. We expect our children to work hard, but also to enjoy themselves. A major strength of the school is its rich cultural mix, with students from many different countries. Children learn to make friends and mix with people from a range of countries and cultural backgrounds. The importance of the English language to your child’s future cannot be underestimated. I am sure you will find the school the ideal place to give your children the very best preparation for life in a rapidly changing, increasingly multi-cultural world. This web aims to give you a taste of life at the BSA. However, the best way to decide if we are right for you is to come and visit us. We look forward to welcoming you in person very soon.
