Our Community

We have a diverse community of pupils, parents and staff supporting the School and its students in many ways. We seek to help our wider communities to which we have social and moral responsibilities. This happens through charitable giving and through the community activities we support. Community involvement in school life makes for a closer partnership in the realisation of our common aims.

Our Staff

​Great teachers make a difference to children's lives. They make them feel secure and happy at school, they inspire them to learn, and our teachers get involved in all sorts of events and activities. BISC teachers are educated to a high standard; most specialists hold higher degrees or are members of professional institutes. All have professional teaching qualifications and are screened for safeguarding purposes.
