From their first lesson aged four, to eighteen and looking ahead to the wider world, BGS supports each child on their educational journey. Inspiring a love of learning and with a huge range of opportunities in and out of the classroom, every child can flourish here.
The curriculum: The Infants follow a topic-based curriculum, which allows the children to explore individual areas while linking the subjects through a unifying topic. BGS Infants proudly holds the prestigious Bristol Standard for Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) provision, showcasing our commitment to fostering creativity, curiosity, and confidence in our youngest learners.
In the Junior School our rich, broad, and balanced curriculum nurtures each child’s unique potential, blending academic rigour with opportunities for creative expression, physical activity, and personal development. Many subjects are taught by specialists, including teachers from the Senior School, enriching the learning experience.
Senior School and Sixth Form pupils enjoy choice and opportunity. They can discover their strengths through a wide range of optional subjects, within a curriculum that encourages them to realise their potential, explore their ideas and take their learning as far as they can go. Supported by our dedicated Future Pathways team, pupils are also encouraged to look ahead to life beyond BGS and plan their next steps – be that on to university, degree apprenticeships, specialist courses or the world of work.
Co-curricular activities: From the Infants upwards, the curriculum is supported by an extensive co-curricular programme that includes music, sport and performance opportunities plus a huge range of clubs and activities. Pupils are encouraged to get involved and give things a go, uncovering new talents or just having fun.
Bursary Awards: Our Mission at BGS is to provide an exceptional and rounded education to those who might benefit from it, regardless of their background and financial means. We are extremely proud to offer means-tested bursaries, worth up to 100% of fees, to enable pupils to join us whose families would not otherwise be able to find the funds.
Scholarships: Our Scholarship Programme recognises a child’s exceptional academic ability, or their talent in sport or in the creative and performing arts. There is no financial reward to being a Scholar, the benefit is in the recognition and opportunities the Scholars Programme provides, such as the challenge and leadership opportunities.
If you wish for your child to be considered for one of our scholarships and you would also like to be considered for help with the school fees, please submit a bursary application form along with your scholarship application.
