PE is taught throughout the school (Years 7 – 13) and we also have three groups at GCSE (Edexcel), and two A level groups (AQA) in our Sixth Form.
PE and Sport facilities include a four-court indoor sports hall, dance studio, fitness centre, and full size 3G pitch.
Co-curricular sport is flourishing at our school and BSN students play regularly in Football, Rugby, Hockey and Basketball teams within Dutch leagues. We have frequent fixtures with international schools within the Netherlands and with schools in London, Brussels and Paris.
