British School of Bahrain's new senior school campus to open in 2026
The British School of Bahrain (BSB) has announced the development of a purpose-built Senior School campus, set to open for the 2026/2027 academic year.
Located just a short walk from the current site and adjacent to the Al Liwan Commercial Centre, the new campus represents a major step forward in BSB's commitment to future-focused education.
The launch comes as the school celebrates 30 years of delivering premium British education in Bahrain. In collaboration with Global Education consultants and leading architectural firm MSCEB, the campus has been designed to educate students from Year 10 through to Year 13.
This next-generation facility will feature thoughtfully designed classrooms to support a range of learning styles, purpose-built study areas for independent and collaborative learning, and cutting-edge technology including the integration of Inspired AI, Inspired Education's pioneering artificial intelligence platform to boost learning outcomes.
Students will also benefit from exceptional extra-curricular and performance facilities, including a FIFA-standard football pitch, athletics track, multi-purpose sports hall, an 8-lane indoor swimming pool, and an acoustically engineered 800 sqm auditorium with seating for over 500 guests.
Nadim M. Nsouli, Founder, Chairman & CEO of Inspired Education, commented: 'The new BSB campus aligns with Inspired's vision of providing its students with a premium education in state-of the-art-facilities demonstrating our commitment to excellence in academics, sports and the creative and performing arts.'
'This is more than a new building. It is a meaningful investment in the future of our students,' said Executive Headteacher Liz Stanley. 'As we celebrate three decades of shaping young minds, this next chapter enables us to reimagine what senior education can be. We are creating an environment that inspires ambition, encourages independence, and equips every student to thrive in an ever-changing world.'
With the relocation of Years 10–13 to the new Senior School, the original campus will become a dedicated centre for students from Nursery through to Year 9.
This transformation allows the school to reimagine their original campus into a vast, state-of-the-art learning environment tailored specifically for younger students, with age-appropriate innovation, care, and creativity at its heart.
This will create one of the most advanced Junior and Middle School campuses in the country, a nurturing and inspiring environment where children can develop curiosity, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning.

Bahrain-UK agreement: What Happens Next?
TDT | Manama A day after the landmark Bahrain-UK defense agreement was signed, key strategic details are now emerging, outlining plans for deeper military coordination, stronger maritime security, and the United Kingdom's significant move into the Bahrain-USled Comprehensive Security and Prosperity Agreement. The agreement, formalized during the official UK visit of His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Crown Prince Deputy, Supreme Commander and Prime Minister, signals a further strengthening of the Kingdom's longstanding strategic relationship with Britain. It specifically highlights critical areas of future cooperation and mutual benefit. Maritime partnership His Excellency Lieutenant General Abdullah bin Hassan Al Nuaimi, Minister of Defense Affairs, emphasized that maritime security has emerged as a central component of the agreement. Plans are in place for intensified naval exercises, coordinated joint patrol operations, and enhanced maritime surveillance involving Bahrain Defense Force and British armed forces personnel. 'The signing of this defense cooperation agreement is rooted in our distinguished partnership, continuously strengthened under the leadership of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa and the directives of HRH the Crown Prince and Prime Minister,' stated Al Nuaimi. He noted that expanding maritime cooperation is essential to maintaining regional stability and addressing evolving security challenges in Gulf waters. Trilateral expansion Another critical dimension unveiled in the agreement is the UK's access to the Comprehensive Security and Prosperity Agreement, previously a bilateral arrangement between Bahrain and the United States. This significant strategic step positions the UK firmly within a trilateral security framework, broadening collaborative defense and security operations in the region. 'The United Kingdom's inclusion, based on invitations extended by Bahrain and the United States, will elevate our joint security coordination and open broader avenues of cooperation, enhancing the mutual security interests of our nations,' Al Nuaimi explained. Deep-rooted alliance The Defense Minister also underscored the historic depth of the Bahrain-UK relationship, recognizing Britain as one of Bahrain's most vital strategic allies. He credited the ongoing strength of this bilateral partnership to decades of effective military and strategic cooperation between the two countries. As Bahrain and the UK now transition from signing agreements to executing strategic plans, expectations are high for tangible results, particularly in maritime security, joint military training, and broader defense coordination.
