Overview

We want your child to flourish at BGS, not just intellectually but morally, physically and emotionally. The School has a focus on wellbeing through the exploration and affirmation of positive values, within a culture that upholds respect, compassion and understanding.

We understand that growing up isn't always plain sailing and that sometimes life can throw up unforeseen difficulties. Whatever their age or stage in the School, however small or big that difficulty may be, there is support tailored to your child. Form tutors and Heads of House get to know the children in their care and are able to offer support and advice. Our Partnership Talks offer parents and guardians the chance to hear from experts on key issues, from mental health to online safety, and the School works alongside families to offer support and advice if issues do arise.

For those in need of greater support, our school counsellors work with any children or staff in the School who need a safe and confidential place to talk about anything that may be confusing, painful or uncomfortable while our school nurse is always on hand to deal with knocks, bumps or even breaks.
