Our new blog from the English Department aims to encourage parents, students, and teachers to fall in love again with reading and the power of books. Each week, we will recommend a new read and give you the opportunity to glimpse an extract of the book to tickle your tastebuds. Reading really does set you free and will help you to undertsand the complex world we live in.
"When I look back, I am so impressed again with the life-giving power of literature. If I were a young person today, trying to gain a sense of myself in the world, I would do that again by reading, just as I did when I was young." – Maya Angelou

BISB has been alive with excitement during this year's Humanities Week (3rd-7th), featuring an array of engaging activities across all year groups.
Year 7 were given just that item and asked to develop an experiment to show something they have learned during their current topic about energy changes.
As part of the Humanities Week, the department was delighted to welcome some of the parents from the community who are industry experts, to share their experiences and professional trajectories with the Year 9s at Talking Business at BISB.
As part of Children's Dental Health Month, our school's kitchen, in collaboration with the school nurse, will host the first-ever Dental Health Day on February 11. The menu will feature foods that contribute to maintaining healthy teeth.
