A big thank you to all the parents who joined us for our Year 1 End of Year Celebration. This special event beautifully tied in with our final topic of the year - Green Fingers! The students have been learning all about seeds and plants, and they shared their knowledge through lively songs and a delightful retelling of The Tiny Seed, a story that follows the journey of a seed through the plant lifecycle. They also showcased their creativity with stunning flower mosaic art made from a variety of seeds. It was a wonderful way to celebrate how much our Year 1 students have grown, not just in their learning, but as young individuals. We are incredibly proud of them and look forward to seeing them continue to blossom! #EndOfYearCelebration #BISJ #BritishSchoolJeddah

BISJ hosted their own version of 'Zog', a story about a small dragon who learns new skills throughout his school career. Along the way he is helped by a princess who would much prefer to be a medic. The arrival of Sir Gadabout the Great, played by Qusai gives them both the chance to follow their dreams by becoming Flying Doctors. The 100 children from the Early Years section, narrated and performed the story through words, actions and songs which were specifically written for the tale. The children also demonstrated their excellent Arabic presentation skills in introducing and closing their show. We are so proud of our children! #BISJZogShow #EarlyYearsPerformance #BISJ #britishschooljeddah

Soaring Success at the House Technology Challenge! This year’s House Technology Challenge took flight—literally!

From acting out scenes to unpacking the language and themes, students explored the play in a creative and hands-on way—building on their classroom learning and connecting with Shakespeare like never before.

SS Update 12 June 2025 Y11 Congratulations to the Year 11 students who have now completed their Cambridge IGCSE final examinations. Two years of hard work, followed by a long and challenging period of examinations has finally come to a close. Well done to everyone in Year 11, enjoy the summer break and good luck for next year as you join IB1. I look forward to hearing positive news about your successes when results are released in August. Reports A big thank you to everyone for making the end of year examinations run so smoothly before the holiday. Thank you to students for working hard, parents for their support and arranging transport, and to colleagues for invigilation and marking scripts. Quarter 4 reports are now in the final stages of review and checking ready for publication on the Engage portal by Thursday 19 June. We will provide an email update for parents and students once the reports are published. Attendance Learning continues until the end of the academic year; it is therefore critical that students are attending school so as not to be disadvantaged compared to their peers. Non-Uniform Day Next week we host a blue themed non-uniform day on Tuesday 17 June. Students can gain house points for each piece of blue clothing worn while a photobooth, a volleyball match, nut-free baking competition and bake sale will take place. Students should bring SAR 10 for the non-uniform day, SAR 5 for the photo booth and any funds they choose for the bake sale. All funds raised contribute to demonstrate our thanks to the wonderful site team, affectionately known as “the men in blue” who make such a difference each day in our school. IB1 Science We will also conduct the Coordinated Science project for IB1 students on Wednesday 18 June – this being an important requirement of the IB Diploma Programme. Mr Scottorn's Message Finally, this is my penultimate Secondary Update as my family and I will leave Jeddah in the near future. Thank you to all members of the school community for your support over the past five years and your kind words and warm wishes for the future.

In Year 5, students explored island formation by designing and creating their own model islands. They began by shaping their islands using papier-mâché over recycled materials, carefully building up features like mountains, beaches, and rivers. Once dry, they brought their creations to life with vibrant acrylic paints, adding detail and colour to represent different landforms and natural features. This hands-on project helped students understand Art and Geography in a fun and creative way. #IslandFormation #CreativeLearning #BISJ #primaryschool #JEDDAHSCHOOL

In Nursery, the learning environment plays a crucial role in supporting young children’s development. By carefully setting up provision that reflects their interests, we create meaningful opportunities for exploration, imaginative play, and early communication. When children see their ideas and preferences reflected in the classroom, it helps build a strong sense of belonging and ownership of their space. From dinosaur worlds to pretend bus rides, these thoughtfully designed areas invite role play and encourage children to express themselves, collaborate with peers, and develop their language skills in a natural and engaging way. At this stage, play truly is powerful learning. #Nursery #happychildrenlearning #EarlyYears #DevelopmentThroughPlay #PlayBasedLearning #BISJ #JeddahBritishSchool

A typical week in Year 3 involves a diverse range of learning engagements! Pictured here, you can see some ‘buddy’ reading with FS2 as well as Secondary students and making salt dough as part of our Integrated Thematic Unit: Footprints from the Past: Dinosaurs. The students used the dough to recreate the original supercontinent Pangea as part of learning about what the world was like at the time of the dinosaurs. They have also done some ‘fossil hunting’ of their own, experiencing the exciting feeling of making a discovery, just like a real paleontologist! Look at the happy faces of the learners! #Year3 #BISJ #HappyChildrenLearning

This year's Y3–Y6 Disco was a hit! Our primary pupils danced the evening away, enjoyed pizza and drinks, and made wonderful memories to end the term. A big thank you to the Student Council for organising such a fun event! #BISJDisco #PrimaryEvents #SchoolLife #BISJMemories

In Year 5, students explored island formation by designing and creating their own model islands. They began by shaping their islands using papier-mâché over recycled materials, carefully building up features like mountains, beaches, and rivers. Once dry, they brought their creations to life with vibrant acrylic paints, adding detail and colour to represent different landforms and natural features. This hands-on project helped students understand Art and Geography in a fun and creative way. #IslandFormation #CreativeLearning #BISJ #primaryschool #JEDDAHSCHOOL

FS2-3 have been working hard to create props and display materials for our end of year assembly, 'Zog'. We have designed, drawn, coloured using a variety of resources, and cut out Zogs, princesses and knights to decorate our hats. The children have been fully involved in all aspects of the assembly and are looking forward to performing for their parents on Monday, 2nd June. Students in FS2 will also be baking some tasty treats for their Mums and Dads for the after party! #FS2 #earlyyears #BRITISHSCHOOL #BISJ

In Nursery, the learning environment plays a crucial role in supporting young children’s development. By carefully setting up provision that reflects their interests, we create meaningful opportunities for exploration, imaginative play, and early communication. When children see their ideas and preferences reflected in the classroom, it helps build a strong sense of belonging and ownership of their space. From dinosaur worlds to pretend bus rides, these thoughtfully designed areas invite role play and encourage children to express themselves, collaborate with peers, and develop their language skills in a natural and engaging way. At this stage, play truly is powerful learning. #Nursery #happychildrenlearning #EarlyYears #DevelopmentThroughPlay #PlayBasedLearning #BISJ #JeddahBritishSchool

As part of their English studies, our Year 7 students had the exciting opportunity to dive deeper into A Midsummer Night’s Dream through a special workshop led by the English and Drama departments. This immersive experience brought Shakespeare’s world to life through interactive, drama-based activities. From acting out scenes to unpacking the language and themes, students explored the play in a creative and hands-on way—building on their classroom learning and connecting with Shakespeare like never before. A big thank you to our secondary section teams for guiding such a fun and enriching day! Swipe through to see the magic in action! #AMidsummerNightsDream #DramaWorkshop #CreativeLearning #BISJ #jeddah #secondaryschool #JEDDAHSCHOOL

A typical week in Year 3 involves a diverse range of learning engagements! Pictured here, you can see some ‘buddy’ reading with FS2 as well as Secondary students and making salt dough as part of our Integrated Thematic Unit: Footprints from the Past: Dinosaurs. The students used the dough to recreate the original supercontinent Pangea as part of learning about what the world was like at the time of the dinosaurs. They have also done some ‘fossil hunting’ of their own, experiencing the exciting feeling of making a discovery, just like a real paleontologist! Look at the happy faces of the learners! #Year3 #BISJ #HappyChildrenLearning
