Extracurricular Activities

Our sports programme is led by highly experienced coaches and instructors, including Mugendo instructors for martial arts and BCG alumni athletes mentoring students across various activities. Exceptional partnerships further enrich the programme, providing pupils with access to industry-leading expertise. 

Through Humaes Sport Group, the BCG Basketball Team benefits from professional-level coaching, performance monitoring, and structured competitive development, while younger footballers receive age-appropriate training with a strong technical foundation.

Beyond the school sports facilities, our partnership with Sharma Climbing Gavà, led by world-renowned professional climber Chris Sharma, gives students access to one of Europe’s top climbing facilities. Students progress through a structured development model that builds resilience, focus, and technical mastery across beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels.
 

Primary pupils engage in Visual Arts extracurricular lessons through Art Attack, exploring crafts and creative techniques inspired by Spanish and British cultural themes. Projects range from single-session activities to extended multi-week pieces, allowing children to develop skills progressively while expressing individual creativity.

Dance is a core element of our performing arts programme. Students progress through Ballet (Nursery–Year 5), Mini Dance, and Dance Fusion (Year 4–Year 9), which blend classical and contemporary styles. Regular performances, end-of-year shows, and interschool showcases help students build confidence, stage presence, and collaborative skills.

Students receive individual music tuition and ensemble opportunities from expert teachers in guitar, piano, violin, drums, and singing in dedicated music studios. Additional offerings include music therapy, fostering emotional wellbeing alongside musical development. Regular recitals and ensemble performances provide platforms to share achievements with the school community.

MyGrandChef cooking programme teaches practical culinary skills for life while fostering teamwork in preparing meals together. It also promotes cultural awareness of different cuisines, and develops understanding of nutrition, healthy eating, and sustainability—skills relevant for careers in hospitality, culinary arts, nutrition, and sustainable food industries.

Chess Club encourages strategic thinking, patience, analytical reasoning, and sportsmanship, cultivating skills useful in mathematics, engineering, law, data analysis, finance, and careers where problem-solving is key.

Our programme recognises the importance of mental and emotional wellbeing alongside physical and academic development. Activities such as martial arts combine physical fitness with mindfulness, self-discipline, and focus, while yoga promotes balance, flexibility, and mental resilience. Creative outlets provide emotional expression and stress relief. These practices support performance in leadership roles, high-pressure professions, and careers requiring focus, organisation, and emotional intelligence.

Study clubs provide structured environments to develop good study habits, time management, and self-directed learning, supporting academic success and preparing pupils for higher education and lifelong learning in any field.

In addition to weekly activities, students can participate in interschool tournaments, artistic showcases, and other enrichment experiences. 

The programme also links with whole-school trips and residentials to expand learning outside the classroom. From city-based arts visits to international sports fixtures and outdoor adventure trips, pupils gain experiences that broaden their horizons far beyond the classroom. Recent residential trips abroad have included Rome, Normandy, and Wales, providing cultural immersion, team-building, and independence.
