Dear Parents,

Welcome Back to School


BVIS HCMC Weekly Highlight 08-05-2026 (6)

Welcome back to a new term at BVIS. It has been truly lovely to see our students returning after the holidays so happy, excited, and ready to learn. We hope that everyone in our community enjoyed a restful and refreshing break, spending valuable time with family and friends.

As we begin this term, we are mindful that it is a short one, but it promises to be extremely busy and full of learning opportunities across the school.

Updates to our Campus

Weekly Highlights 08/05/2026 - Weekly Highlights 08-05-2026

Over the holiday period, a great deal of work took place on campus to further enhance our learning environment. We are particularly excited about the new Canopy Physical Development space in EYFS, which has been thoughtfully designed to support children’s physical development. This area will help develop both gross and fine motor skills, while also encouraging teamwork, collaboration, confidence, and active play in a safe and engaging environment.

We have also introduced a new turnstile secure entry system for secondary students, staff, parents, and visitors. This enhancement strengthens campus security, and we will be sharing more detailed information about its use very soon. Please note that all students and staff will need their school ID card to access the system. If an ID card has been misplaced, a form will be sent out shortly for completion so that a replacement can be issued.

Some of our students have already been back on campus taking part in examinations. These have been running smoothly so far, thanks to the dedication, focus, and hard work of both our students and staff. We wish all students continuing with exams the very best over the coming weeks.

The Speech and Poetry final round is officially underway! Our Primary judges enjoyed seeing the confidence, enthusiasm, and effort the children have put into their performances in the semifinals.

Finally, thank you to those who have already completed the Parent Pulse Survey, which was sent out earlier this week. If you have not yet seen it, please do check your junk or spam folder. We truly value your feedback and hope that all parents will take this opportunity to share their thoughts on the school and how we can continue to be even better.
