Starting school is a significant moment in a young child’s life — and for our pre-nursery learners in Foundation Stage 1 (F1), it marks the beginning of their educational journey at BIS HCMC. We understand that this transition can be both exciting and emotional for children and their families. That’s why we place great emphasis on a carefully designed settling-in period, tailored to the needs of each individual child. Our settling in period allows for children to start at any time during the year, allowing children to feel safe, secure, comfortable and ready to learn, regardless of when they join us during the year.

At BIS HCMC, our story is one of connection, continuity, and care — a place where learning begins with curiosity and ends with confident, compassionate graduates ready to shape the world. Earlier this year, we witnessed a moving reminder of this journey, as eighteen members of our Year 13 Class of 2025 returned to the place where it all began: Early Years Foundation Stages.

With over 1,200 students, staff, and parents participating in the 5km run or walk, the event was a true reflection of the school’s commitment to fostering a strong sense of community.

Joining BIS HCMC in Foundation Stage 2 (F2) is a fantastic age to begin a lifetime love for learning, encouraged and nurtured by our experienced and committed class and specialist teachers, who personalise learning unique to every child.  We look back at what our F2s have experienced in less than one term already at BIS HCMC.
