Year 2 had a fantastic time on their forest adventure, bringing lots of their classroom learning to life!

In English, while exploring The House Held Up by Trees, they have been developing their vocabulary linked to trees and the natural world. In Science, they have been learning about animals, their habitats and patterns in nature, while their Project lessons have introduced them to conservationism and how they can help protect the environment.

During the trip they became nature detectives and habitat builders! Do you want to know how?

They explored different types of trees by investigating their seeds, searched for signs of wildlife and insect habitats and completed a forest scavenger hunt. They used natural materials to create individual habitats for different forest creatures, including frogs, rabbits, bears and slugs.

It was a wonderful opportunity to take their learning outside the classroom and explore the natural world first-hand!

Our Staff:Parent football sessions are officially in full swing - with a brilliant evening at VUB already behind us and three more still to come this term. ⚽

These sessions are all about building community off the pitch as much as on it, bringing staff and parents together for a bit of friendly competition and plenty of laughs along the way. It is exactly the kind of connection we love seeing grow at BJAB and a reminder that our community stretches well beyond the school gates. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

This is just one of the many ways we bring our BJAB family together - from parent social events to teacher-led sessions where parents can learn about and discuss a range of topics, and Coffee with the Head.

Our Year 12 students are only a few weeks into the IBDP and already they are being given a wealth of opportunities to think beyond the classroom - from exploring universities and career pathways to learning directly from those who have walked the IB Diploma journey before them.

This week, that took the shape of the Unifrog Virtual University Fair, where students built their own individual programme around leading universities from across the world. Beyond browsing options, they spoke directly with university representatives and admissions officers, asking questions about courses, entry requirements and application processes - the kind of first-hand insight that goes far beyond a prospectus. It is exactly the kind of experience that helps our Sixth Formers start making informed, confident choices about life after BJAB.

The day was rounded off by Mr Jones who shared his own journey through the IB Diploma, as a student at school in the UK, - the challenges, the strategies and the advice he wishes he had known at the start. It was a great example of how we can draw on the first-hand experience of our own community, giving our students the opportunity to benefit from their knowledge, perspective and practical advice.

A brilliant step forward for our Year 12s as they continue planning their next chapter! 🎓 Thank you to all the staff who help make the IB experience such a meaningful and personalised one for every student at BJAB.

🧗Trips are never an add-on at BJAB - they are an essential part of how we teach.
Year 7 camped overnight in Limburg after a day and a half walking in the woods🌲, Year 8 took to the water for a day of kayaking 🚣 and Year 9 spent their morning climbing.

Three very different trips, all built around the same idea: bonding as a year group and cementing new friendships, while building confidence, resilience and independence along the way.

These experiences complement everything our students learn at school and often become the memories they talk about long after the term ends.

to Malaga - back in June, our (then) Year 9 students spent a week immersed in Spanish language and culture on their residential trip.

From using their Spanish in real, everyday situations to exploring the history and customs of Andalusia, this was learning brought to life and a well-earned recognition of a year of hard work. Residential trips like this are an integral part of our curriculum, giving students the chance to build independence, confidence and intercultural understanding well beyond the classroom.

☀️Now in Year 10, we cannot help but wonder how much of that week in Malaga still shapes them today - the friendships, the confidence, the Spanish practised at every meal. What do you think stuck with them most?

Keep an eye out next week... there may be another residential throwback waiting 👀

In STEM Club, our pupils designed their own 'blow' rockets to see how far they could travel!

Using their Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths skills (STEM), they experimented with changing the length of the rockets and adjusting the tail fins, testing whether either change would make a difference to the distance travelled.

It was wonderful to see our young engineers testing, tweaking and comparing results 💭 real problem-solving in action and exactly the kind of practical, creative thinking STEM Club is all about.

We cannot wait to see what they design next! 🚀

Our Year 5 scientists have been exploring the effects of air resistance 🪂 Having designed and made their own parachutes, showcasing a variety of materials, shapes and sizes, they enthusiastically sought the most successful flight.

Each design was put to the test, with our young engineers observing and recording along the way ⏱️ real scientific thinking in action!

Which parachute do you think achieved the greatest air resistance to become the overall winner?

This is what learning looks like at BJAB: hands-on, curious and rooted in real discovery, exactly the kind of experience that children remember and that stays with them after the lesson ends.

🌱 We have made a great start to Kindergarten. We have been busy settling into our new routines, getting to know our classroom and making new friends.

From creating family photo albums and cooking, to mud kitchen adventures, water play and imaginative play in the home corner — there’s been lots of exploring, playing and learning together.

We are building confidence, friendships and a sense of belonging, one playful moment at a time. 🧸

There is nothing quite like watching two of our very earliest students walk back through the doors that shaped them — and last week, we had the joy of doing it twice.

It was a real pleasure to welcome back Philip Milton (BJAB 1996–2001), who went on to study PPE at Oxford via the European School, alongside Lavu Njobvu, who was part of our second-ever cohort back in 1992! – his elder brother having been in our very first (amazingly, both brothers are in this picture from 1993).

It is always special to see the impact BJAB has had when our alumni come back to see what has become of their school! Both were impressed to learn how the school has continued to evolve.

We love welcoming alumni back for visits, guest talks or to take part in our various events. We welcome opportunities for them to share their knowledge and story with the current BJAB community. We encourage all of our alumni to share their contact details ([email protected]) and to follow our social media pages for the latest news.

We would love to hear from you!

🏆 Our Year 8 student gave a beautiful recital back in the summer as part of the Musicorum Festival, held at the Royal Museums of Fine Arts in Brussels. Performing works by Grieg, Borodin and Scriabin, she took to the stage as the youngest student at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels.

Even Prince Amaury de Merode attended in person to hear her play. Her talent did not go unnoticed elsewhere either, being interviewed and featured by RTBF radio ahead of her performance.

Her journey is a lovely reminder of how the skills students build at BJAB carry far beyond the classroom. After the interview, her mother noticed just how much her French has developed alongside her music. At BJAB, music lessons are taught weekly by a dedicated musician with a genuine love for the art, while French is taught four or five times a week (depending on year group) by our largest department, staffed with highly qualified and engaging language teachers.

Congratulations to our talented Year 8 student — we cannot wait to see where your music takes you next! 🎹
