We are thrilled to share with you the outstanding achievements of our primary students in the recent UKMT Junior Maths Challenge at the end of April. The challenge is a 60-minute, multiple-choice exam designed to encourage mathematical reasoning, precision of thought, and fluency in using basic mathematical techniques to solve interesting problems and is aimed at children in Year 7 and 8.
Twenty of our primary students were selected to participate alongside Year 7 and 8 students and we are proud to announce that our students have performed exceptionally well. In particular, our primary students achieved 6 gold, 5 silver and 4 bronze certificates. What is particularly noteworthy is that one of our Year 6 students, Lalo, outperformed everyone in our school community. His amazing score also meant that he has qualified for the UK Junior Maths Olympiad. The five other primary students who received a gold award have also qualified for the Junior Kangaroo competition. Both of these competitions will take place in June and we eagerly await to hear about their progress in these competitions.
Congratulations to all who took part!

On our most recent Hungarian trip the Year 12 students had a chance to explore the 20th century art movements in Hungary and also get a glance into the life of, one of Hungary’s greatest poets, Ady Endre.
20 students in Years 5 and 6 recently took part in the Primary Maths Challenge. Nuala and Athena achieved a Gold award and Vlada achieved a Silver award. Other students earned Bronze or Participation certificates.
The BISB WOLVES had an exciting and challenging end to Season 1, participating in the prestigious NAGGE (Nord Anglia Global Games Europe) U19 Volleyball Tournament, hosted by TBS, Warsaw. Last year, our boys' team returned as champions, and the girls' team earned a silver medal.
The highlight of the weekend was the Christmas Fair, which brought festive cheer and excitement. Let’s take a quick look back, in a nutshell!
