Swimming also helps children improve their coordination, balance, posture and flexibility. So take advantage of our Summer Swimming Classes for beginners on Mondays and Wednesdays.

Students at BST have embraced Global Campus with great enthusiasm this year. Challenges were related to various subjects and set in many different topics. Our students used the Global Campus platform during lessons as an extension to the work being done in class.

Ekaterina joined the school in February 2019, as maternity cover for a HR Officer. At the interview, she was told that once the individual on maternity came back, Ekaterina could certainly apply for a Teaching Assistant post, which is what she was keen on at the time as she loves children.

At the beginning of May, our Head of Maintenance, Mr Ulugbek Rakhmatullayev bought two new individuals to the Sayram campus. These small, furry friends soon made a place in everyone’s hearts and Mr Slava, our Handyman, made a lovely new home for the Rabbits.

For many families, the first Nord Anglia school their child joins is only the beginning of their international education journey. In this blog we are interviewing Anne, a parent within the Nord Anglia community, who shares the experience of her family and their relocations around the world.

Year 9 students really enjoyed the two-day Plein Air Art trip to the Aktash mountain area. The trip provided a new and exciting learning opportunity. The students were able to beautifully document a place in time, on canvas. The lovely Spring weather allowed our students to fully immerse themselves in the natural beauty of each of the landscapes visited. The experience and excitement of the visit were evident in the outstanding artwork created by each and every student that participated on the trip.

Children from KS1 had an amazing trip to the Botanical Gardens. As we were learning about "Our Planet", children were asked to think of how we can help the park to be even more beautiful and stunning. Using gloves, children collected plastic garbage and cleaned the area. They were so excited to keep the natural environment clean and left the park with a sense of "doing good".

Our Year 6 students celebrated their graduation with their family and friends at Kalandar campus. The Principal, Dr Andre Nel and Ms Gemma Lowrey (Acting Head of Primary), opened the ceremony and were joined by the lovely Ms Juliana Posado-Castro, Chair of the PTFA. Students, parents and staff were then inspired and moved by British cyclist Mr Luke Grenfell-Shaw's story (cancer survivor) as he dropped by on his way from Bristol to Beijing. Lessons on transition, resilience and hope for a bright future chimed with their own transition to secondary school. Class 6A and 6B entertained the audience with wonderful songs and the event ended with a closing speech from Ms Rachel Edwards (Head of Primary) and baby Thomas. We are confident our wonderful Year 6’s will seamlessly adapt to life as Year 7’s under the careful eye of our Head of Key Stage 3, Mr Jean-Pierre Le Grange.

Mr Mukhiddin has been working at BST since December2018 and Mr Callum since September 2020 as our IT Officers. Over the last couple of years, the role of IT in education has become increasingly important and at BST we certainly couldn’t manage without this dynamic duo. Most staff and students will rarely see them as their offices are based in the dungeons (Kalandar basement) but whenever we need them an email to IT Support is usually answered within the hour – even on weekends!
