British School of Bahrain's new senior school campus to open in 2026
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.

1 in 4 Young Brits May Quit UK for Australia or Dubai
Over a quarter of young Brits are considering leaving the UK to escape the country's stuttering economy and unaffordable housing market. As many as 28 per cent of 18-30 year-olds are either planning to quit the UK or have seriously considered emigrating, according to a poll from free-market think tank the Adam Smith Institute (ASI). Another 30 per cent said they had 'briefly considered' it, while 35 per cent said leaving the UK had never crossed their mind. Respondents overwhelmingly cited the UK's supply-starved housing market and difficult financial backdrop as being a core driver of their disillusion with Britain. Over six in 10 (65 per cent) believe it will become even more difficult to find affordable housing in the next five years, compared to just one in five who believe it will get easier. And half said they felt most of their peers were struggling to make ends meet in the face of ever-increasing housing costs and stagnating wages. 'The youngest generation of British workers are sending a clear message. They feel overtaxed, underhoused and undervalued,' said Emma Schubart, data and insights manager at the ASI. 'If our political class continues to ignore these warning signs, we risk exporting our talent at precisely the moment when it is most needed.' The think tank's findings are the latest evidence of a 'brain drain' said to be gripping Britain, as an increasing number of the country's ambitious young professionals turn overseas to forge their careers. Jurisdictions like Dubai and Australia have proven especially popular with the cohort, won over by their vibrant economies, higher living standards and better weather. An estimated 40,000 Brits moved from the UK to the Emirati city-state in 2024 alone, and last month officials unveiled a first-time buyer scheme that made it easier for its young residents – including its fast-growing expat community – to get on the housing ladder. The proliferation of so-called 'digital nomad' visas, which allow professionals to work for a UK company from abroad, has also served to accelerate the number of departures. Research from polling agency Public First has estimated the UK is missing out on over £3bn of consumer spending because of increasing uptake in the schemes on offer in far-flung destinations like Bali and Costa Rica. The firm put the direct annual loss to the Exchequer from young Brits using the schemes at least £320m. Responding to the ASI figures, Reform UK leader Nigel Farage said: 'It's sad but not a surprise that ambitious young Brits are increasingly looking overseas for opportunities.' 'This can't go on. We must give the next generation the freedom to thrive, raise families, and build a bright future here in the UK,' he read: US, UK In Secret Talks With Ukrainian Officials To 'Replace Zelensky': Russian Intelligence Claims

Bahrain, US and UK sign Comprehensive Security Integration and Prosperity Agreement (C-SIPA)
As part of the official visit of His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, to the United States of America, the Kingdom of Bahrain and the US signed the Comprehensive Security Integration and Prosperity Agreement (C-SIPA). The agreement was signed on behalf of Bahrain by Shaikh Abdullah bin Rashid Al Khalifa, Ambassador of the Kingdom of Bahrain to the United States; on behalf of the United States of America by Maura Namdar, Senior Official at the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs at the US Department of State; and on behalf of the United Kingdom by Lucy Ferguson, Minister Counsellor for Foreign Policy, Security and Development at the British Embassy in Washington, D.C. Shaikh Abdullah bin Rashid said that the C-SIPA agreement sets the groundwork for building stronger security cooperation and supporting prosperity in the Middle East. He emphasised that the agreement embodies the vision of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa and His Excellency President Donald Trump of the United States of America, towards achieving peace, stability, and prosperity for the countries and peoples of the region and the world. The agreement further expresses the current regional reality, which aspires to peace, prosperity, development, and cooperation by establishing normal relations between all the countries of the region. The ambassador commended the efforts of HRH the Crown Prince and Prime Minister to strengthen cooperation between Bahrain and the United States. He highlighted His Royal Highness's ongoing commitment to building a solid and strategic partnership that serves the shared interests of both nations. The ambassador emphasised that these efforts not only support progress and prosperity in Bahrain and the United States, but also contribute positively to the well-being of people across the region and the wider international community. Shaikh Abdullah bin Rashid also commended the trilateral signing by Bahrain, the US, and the UK, on the accession of the UK to the C-SIPA agreement. He noted that the UK's accession represents a strategic milestone in consolidating regional security, stability, and prosperity and in enhancing international partnerships founded on common principles and values. The ambassador welcomed the UK's accession to the agreement, describing it as a multilateral framework that unites countries to strengthen regional security, enhance collective deterrence against external threats, and deepen cooperation in trade, science, and technology to enhance peace and prosperity in the Middle East. This shift from a bilateral to a multilateral agreement opens the door for other countries with shared goals to join. He expressed Bahrain's hope that more nations will become members, benefiting all citizens in the region and promoting broader cooperation, growth, and prosperity. BNA(R)

Britain lifts ban on Pakistani airlines
Britain has lifted restrictions on Pakistani airlines, the UK embassy in Islamabad said on Wednesday, ending a fiveyear ban on the country's beleaguered national carrier. Flag carrier Pakistan International Airlines was barred from flying to Britain in June 2020, a month after one of its aircraft plunged into a Karachi street, killing nearly 100 people. The disaster was attributed to human error by the pilots and air traffic control, and was followed by allegations that nearly a third of the licences for its pilots were fake or dubious. The UK Air Safety Committee had decided to lift the ban following aviation safety improvements in Pakistan, the British High Commission in Islamabad said, adding that decisions on de-listing states and air carriers were made 'through an independent aviation safety process'. 'Based on this independent and technically-driven process, it has decided to remove Pakistan and its air carriers from the (UK Air Safety) List,' it said in a statement. The move comes after European regulators lifted a four-year ban on PIA, with the Pakistani state-owned carrier resuming flights to Europe in January. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif welcomed the lifting of the ban as 'an important milestone for the country'. 'The lifting of the ban on Pakistani flights by the UK is a source of relief for Pakistanis residing in Britain,' he added.
