Welcome to the BBS community where the values Ambition, Proud, and Caring underpin everything that we do.
We are an inclusive school in the heart of a fantastic community. I am incredibly proud to be the Acting Principal of BBS and represent a dedicated staffing team, amazing students, and a family base invested in their children’s future.
As a school we believe that whilst academic achievement is critically important, it is about educating the whole child and providing them with the experiences and opportunities to unlock their potential and flourish. Developing socially, growing resilience and character, whilst also feeling safe and happy are as important as the progress within each subject.
With hard work and dedication students can fulfil their ambitions. I make no excuses for having high standards and expectations of all within the community and holding high aspirations for each and every student. Developing a positive culture and recognising student endeavour alongside academic and extra-curricular achievement is paramount. Heartfelt praise and a smile go a long way.
I look forward to working with you for the benefit of the students and the community. Together we can achieve great things.
Yours sincerely,
Ben Morgan
Acting Principal
