The British School of Barcelona

🎓 It’s time to celebrate our A Level Class of 2026!

Today, we’re sharing the results of two years of learning, hard work and commitment, and we are proud of what our students have achieved:

📊 100% pass rate
⭐ 42% of all grades awarded at A* and A
👏 23% of students achieved three A grades or better

💙 These results represent the individual journeys and efforts of each of our students, supported along the way by their teachers, families and the wider BSB community.

🎉 As the Class of 2026 looks ahead to new opportunities and the next stage of their educational journeys, we wish them every success for the future.

💪 At BSB, we believe that sport is for everyone.

Our Sport for All approach is embedded throughout our age-appropriate PE curriculum, ensuring every student develops the skills, confidence and enjoyment to lead an active, healthy lifestyle.

🤝 Through a wide variety of activities, students build resilience, teamwork, leadership, discipline, respect and perseverance in an inclusive environment where participation and personal progress are celebrated.

🏆 For students looking to take their sporting journey further, there are also plenty of opportunities to represent BSB in local and regional competitions throughout the year, alongside a broad extracurricular sports programme.

🧪 Science is always hands-on at BSB!

🔬 Across all our campuses, students bring science to life through practical experiments in our dedicated laboratories, developing curiosity, critical thinking and problem-solving skills through real-world investigation.

🚀 By making STEAM learning engaging, interactive and inspiring, we encourage students to explore their interests and discover the exciting opportunities that future careers in science, technology, engineering, the arts and mathematics can offer.

💙 This commitment to innovation and discovery is slso celebrated each Spring through our Whole School Science Fair, where students from across BSB showcase their creativity, scientific understanding and passion for STEAM.

🎓 Two months ago, we celebrated the incredible BSB Nexus Class of 2026. Today, many of our graduates are preparing to begin an exciting new chapter at universities around the world. 🌍

💙 As they get ready to take this next step, we're looking back on a day filled with pride, laughter, reflection and unforgettable memories—celebrating not just academic achievement, but the friendships, resilience and experiences that shaped their journey at BSB Nexus.

✨ Wherever life takes you next, remember that you'll always have a place in the BSB family. We can't wait to see all that you accomplish.

🎉 Good luck, Class of 2026—your next adventure starts now!

💙 Supporting families beyond the classroom.

At The British School of Barcelona, we believe that a child's learning journey is strongest when school and home work together. That's why we've created our Early Years video series—a growing collection of practical guidance and expert insights from our teachers, designed to help families better understand how young children learn, grow and thrive.

🌱 From learning through play and communication to confidence, wellbeing and everyday parenting questions, each episode explores the topics that matter most during the Early Years, offering reassurance, inspiration and practical ideas that families can use at home.

🎥 Swipe through to discover the topics we've explored so far, and watch the full series on our YouTube channel.

🎨 Take a walk through our school, and you'll find learning on every wall.

💙 At BSB, our corridors are an extension of the classroom. From classroom projects and enrichment activities to BSB Speaks showcases and student achievements, every display celebrates the creativity, curiosity and milestones of our learners throughout the year.

🌟 These displays offer a glimpse into daily life at BSB—showcasing the learning experiences, student voice and collaborative culture that make our community so special.

👀 Next time you're visiting one of our campuses, take a moment to stop, look around and discover what our students have been working on—you never know what might inspire you.

🌟 What does it take to become a great leader?

🎤 At BSB Sitges, our Leadership Masterclasses bring together Years 5 and 6 pupils with BSB staff and inspiring external speakers to explore what leadership means in different contexts and learn from real-life experiences.

💡 Throughout the programme, students have developed key leadership skills through topics including creativity, empathy, problem-solving, public speaking, respect, responsibility and storytelling. Each interactive session encourages them to reflect, ask questions and discover their own leadership potential.

💙 A huge thank you to every BSB colleague and guest speaker who generously shared their time, knowledge and experiences with our students throughout the programme. And, of course, thank you to all our young leaders for your enthusiasm, curiosity and thoughtful reflections—you can read some of their feedback in this post!

🎨 Creativity, dedication and countless hours of hard work—all brought to life through art.

🖌️ Throughout the year, our students develop their artistic skills and build impressive portfolios, particularly those following Art pathways at IGCSE, A Level and the IBDP.

🖼️ Here's a look back at some of the incredible pieces showcased during our end-of-year exhibitions across our campuses. Congratulations to all our talented young artists! 👏

🧠 What does Hard Thinking look like at every stage of learning?

At BSB, Hard Thinking is about embracing challenge, asking questions and developing the confidence to think deeply.

💡 As our students grow, so do their thinking skills. Hard Thinking evolves throughout every stage of their learning journey, with the level of challenge and independence increasing over time. Here's what Hard Thinking looks like across our school:

🔹In Early Years: Exploring, questioning and discovering through play.
🔹In Primary: Solving problems, making connections and explaining thinking.
🔹In Secondary & Pre-University: Analysing evidence, debating ideas, applying knowledge and developing the independence to think critically.
