Class Assemblies are back in full flow! This week in Chapel we enjoyed a series of class assemblies, delivered across each year group bubble. We heard the inspiring Bible story of a widow’s generosity in giving up her food for Elijah, and together we reflected on what it means to live generously and be EXTRA…

Last year, our Eco committees in both Pre Prep and Prep worked together to encourage the children at Bluecoat to live more sustainably. Initially, the Eco councillors undertook an environmental review covering all ten Eco-Schools topics. This fed into an action plan which focused on three main topics.

God’s wonderful World was the theme of 1B and 2W’s assemblies this week. The children demonstrated beautifully just how wonderful God’s world is by speaking about all the lovely things that we are surrounded by everyday but sometimes take for granted. They celebrated all of the wonderful sights, sounds and people around us. They delivered…

It’s extraordinary, is it not, how we are constantly bombarded by statistics. And how large some of those figures are.

Sport and BCS now go hand in hand, as those who know the School’s reputation for sport will testify. At BCS we recognise the vital role sport and physical activity plays in ensuring physical and mental health. We are proud of the performance levels to which our pupils aspire, but we are about far more…
