Science staff are supportive, understanding and great teachers. Maths staff are lovely. English staff are, in the nicest way possible, lazy and rude (I haven't had a single experience, beside Ms Maltby she was gorgeous, with an English teacher here...Read More
As with most things, the school has both its advantages and disadvantages. If you‘re a disciplined and motivated person, you will likely thrive at this school. You‘re expected to be quite independent. While teachers can assist and provide you support, you do need to be able to mostly figure things out yourself. Additionally, you need to be able to keep yourself accountable. That being said, if you‘re someone that requires a lot of help and constant reminders to get work done, this school might not be the best option for you. In terms of teachers, most of them are great. I’ve had some incredible teachers, but I do have to admit, there are a few who aren’t too good. Unfortunately, the school does have some teachers who don’t seem to be very motivated in teaching. I‘ve had a few teachers who didn’t really listen to me or who answered my questions properly. This can be quite frustrating, especially because you can’t talk to them in person. However, as I said, there are a few amazing teachers. Some teachers at this school are highly motivated and truly care about teaching their students.The teachers who I currently have support me as much as they possibly can. Now, let’s get to the social aspect. As expected, there isn’t all that much socialising. The school does organise some social activities every now and then, but it‘s not always possible for everyone to attend. As I said, this was to be expected, but that‘s just another thing to consider. Overall, this school isn‘t suited for everyone. Ultimately, it just depends on the person. Personally, I really love this school. It has helped me reach my full potential. I like the independence and flexibility of it, but I can definitely understand why some people wouldn‘t thrive at this school.

Naomi and Rebeka are two of the greatest teachers ive ever had. there is never a boring lesson with them and they make every week better :) most of the teachers here are super helpful and really care
TLDR: If you value your children's education, and your sanity; for the love of all thats good don't send your children here. Our experience at BSDE in the teaching/learning areas: ~Zero awareness of travelling families needs. ~Attendance system is BROKEN....Read More
