After two long years of the pandemic, there are signs that we are returning to a state where we can re-engage with the activities that we previously took for granted; international travel, going to work or school if you are healthy (not having to isolate because you are a close contact of someone who is not well), celebrating family events together, etc. We are hopeful that school events will also be able to resume.
One of the many positives of being back on site for Face to Face Learning is the opportunity for students to collaborate and work together as part of their learning.
We talk about ‘community’ a lot at BIS, so it is very pleasing to see that according to the results of the latest Parent Satisfaction Survey, 93% of parents feel accepted into a warm and welcoming community.
As we approach the Tet Holiday, we would like to take this opportunity to wish all of our families a safe and peaceful holiday. Mr Anthony’s video message yesterday reflected on the past two years, but more importantly stressed moving forward and all of the staff at the Early Years and Infant and Junior Campuses are very excited at the thought of welcoming all of our amazing families back to campus on Monday 14th February.
It has been wonderful to see the children visiting their classes this week to collect their uniforms, meet their teachers in person, and get an understanding of the rules we need to enforce to ensure their safety when they come back after the Tet holiday.
Happy New Year to all of our BIS Community. Welcome back to all of our BIS families and a particularly warm welcome to all of our new families joining us this term. Although we are disappointed not to be able to welcome you all in person to campus, we look forward to seeing all of you very soon.
A wonderful week where we had the opportunity to come together, safely, to celebrate Teachers Day followed by a brilliant Enrichment Day on Wednesday and rounded off with a spectacular Sing along this afternoon.
This week’s weekly update is a joint Early Years and Infant and Junior Campus update from Mr Ian Battersby and Ms Dee Grimshaw, Headteachers of the Early Years and Infant Campus and Junior Campus respectively. It highlights some of the events that have taken place this week.
This week we present a joint Weekly Update from both campuses, an opportunity for you to see what is happening across primary and what children of all ages have been up to over the last few weeks.
