On the 18th October the SSAT published an interview between members of the BGS Afro-Caribbean Society and Angelina Idun, their Director of Education. The SSAT had been looking for strong examples of inclusion and diversity within and between school communities and we were proud that they were able to speak to our student-led body, the ACS.
Congratulations to our fantastic Year 11 cohort, who this week achieved an excellent set of GCSE results.
We are thrilled to announce that three of our students have won the Anthea Bell Prize for Young Translators 2023 in the following categories:
Mandarin, Level 2 - Victor Zhuang (8CED) regional winner
Italian, Level 2 - Alex Stanchev (9KAS) regional and national winner
Mandarin, Level 4 - Xinyuan Miao (12KSK) regional winner
This competition, organised by The Queen's College at the University of Oxford, takes inspiration from the life and work of the renowned translator Anthea Bell. It involved 80 BGS students from all year groups. This year, more than 15,000 students submitted their creative translations from Spanish, French, German, Italian, and Mandarin into English.
