The Key Issue 13 - Potential, Opportunity and Success 

POTENTIAL, OPPORTUNITY AND SUCCESS

In a fast-changing society, it is true to say that our pupils today face many challenges.  They come to BGS with ability and potential.  We aspire to instil in them the courage and self belief required to embrace the many opportunities they are offered which develop their abundant talents, leading to fulfilment and success in life.  In one short term our students have travelled the globe, achieved sporting prowess, entered national competitions, gained magnificent qualifications and enjoyed participating in a wide variety of music and drama.

Our Schools exist because of a long and honourable tradition of benefaction; men and women who knew that they had been fortunate in life sought to ensure that future generations would be blessed with the priceless opportunity of a good education.   This vision has required the expansion of the campus, the provision of ever improving facilities, the maintenance of dated buildings and the creation of more bursary places for bright pupils whose families cannot afford our fees.

All of our pupils today owe some element of their education to the generosity of others.  We have a proud past and look forward to a still greater future with confidence.  We hope you will enjoy reading of life at BGS and perhaps you may consider lending your support to help future generations.
