  • In conversation with Deputy Head, Wavell Blades
    Jan 16 2023

    #010 - This is the podcast for the British International School New York and welcome to ‘BIS-NY, Behind the Scenes’, the podcast where we talk to staff, parents and pupils to find out more about life at the school. 

    Now in this episode we’re speaking to Wavell Blades, Deputy Head at BIS-NY and someone who’s heavily involved in pastoral care at school. But he’s also someone who’s moved to New York within the last 12 months so he talks about his life before living in the city, where he was, what he was doing and how he’s finding things both in a new city and working at BIS-NY.

    And we also get to understand something more about his incredible name!

    But enough from me. Instead let’s jump into this episode right now with Wavell Blades.

  • Settling in and School in New York
    Jan 7 2022

    #009 - This is the podcast for the British International School New York and welcome to ‘BIS-NY, Behind the Scenes’, the podcast where we talk to staff, parents and pupils to find out more about life at the school. In this episode we’re speaking to Holly and William, two pupils at BIS-NY who recently moved to New York from Australia. This means we get to hear what life is like for them moving across half the planet, what their first impressions are of New York and, importantly, what their first impressions are of the school too.

    So let’s not waste anymore time but come with me as we hear from recent arrivals, Holly and William.

  • Three guests talking pastoral care - Annette, Oliver & David
    Oct 15 2021

    #008 - This is the podcast for the British International School New York and welcome to ‘BIS-NY, Behind the Scenes’, the podcast where we talk to staff, parents and pupils to find out more about life at the school. In this episode we speak to three guests. We have Annette, Year 2 teacher & Head of the Lower School, we have Oliver, Head of the Middle School (and he also teaches some Music & Tech), and finally we have David, Head of the Upper School (and he teaches some Music and PSHE too).

    And we’re talking pastoral care throughout all this. So we’ll be looking at what it means in the school and how it looks day to day, we talk about the changing opportunities and priorities for the students as they progress through the school, and we talk about the role of the curriculum and extra-curriculum programmes in aiding good pastoral care.

    So let’s get into this episode right now, with Annette, Oliver and David (otherwise known as Dave).
