Tutor group changes
We are very pleased that due to the continued success of the school many more families will be joining BSM for the new academic year. This has meant that in Years 8, 9 and 10 for academic year 2024/25 there will be one extra tutor group and there may be some changes to your child’s tutor group. The Pastoral Team are currently working with tutors, teachers and students to find the most effective composition of the new class and will communicate to those who will change before the end of term.

PE Uniform - daily practice
PE Uniform - daily practice
On their day of a PE lesson, Senior School students should arrive at school wearing their PE kit. They must bring a school uniform to change into at the end of the lesson (to maintain their personal hygiene) unless the lesson is Period 5, in which case, students can go onto their ECA (if appropriate) or go home. Changing rooms will be locked so all personal belongings are safe; although after school, for ECAs, this may not be the case.
On a day when a student has a PE ECA but not a PE lesson, he/she must come to school in school uniform and change into PE kit, after school, in preparation for their activity.
Deodorant is acceptable, however, no glass containers are allowed and aerosol sprays are not permitted.

The availability of school-owned laptops for emergency use has been a valuable support system for those students who forget or accidentally break their own devices during the day. From 1 January 2024, each student will be eligible for up to five days of free laptop borrowing per academic year. This will help with emergency situations and short-term device issues. Please read more about this policy in this document.
