Welcome from the Executive Principal
The British School of Barcelona

Graded as ‘Outstanding in every category’ in our recent inspection, we have a proud, well-established reputation for providing a world-class international education to students from two to eighteen.

Academic outcomes are very important and BSB students obtain excellent examination results which enable them to access top universities in Spain and around the world. However, in order to thrive in a rapidly evolving world, young people need more than just top grades. They need to develop the skills and attributes they will require in a world where many jobs will be automated and distinctly 'human' qualities – creativity, curiosity, collaboration – will be prized above all else.

School should also be fun and BSB offers a nurturing environment where young people can flourish and emerge ready to take on the challenges that await them with confidence and certainty.

We'd love you to come and visit our campuses in Barcelona, Castelldefels and Sitges to find out more about why BSB could be the right school for your child.

'Outstanding in Every Category'

The British School of Barcelona has retained the 'Outstanding in Every Category' status following the British Schools Overseas inspection of our school in October 2024. This is the highest recognition an international school can receive and places us as one of the best British schools in the world.

The British Schools Overseas inspection is accredited by the British government, and we are the only school in Barcelona to have this badge of quality.

'The British School of Barcelona (BSB) provides a very high standard of education, which is supported by excellent relationships in a safe, very caring and well-organised school community.'

An outstanding school in one of the most dynamic, innovative and cosmopolitan capitals of Europe

Preparing students to shape the world

We inspire our students to be creative, curious thinkers who feel both supported and challenged. They grow, have high personal expectations and learn to demonstrate commitment, resilience and respect for all.

Our students become global citizens, they embrace difference and become principled in their beliefs.

We have no doubt that our private school in Barcelona will offer your children the best preparation for tomorrow.

A personalised approach to learning

We support individual growth by personalising learning, giving our students more say in their curriculum, determining what they learn. We also focus on the skills and habits they will need to be successful in all they do.

We don’t just want our students to pass exams: we want them to transition seamlessly into life after BSB.

The best student support

Our focus on wider learning habits alongside our approach to wellbeing are key to our students growing into successful young people who can negotiate the ever-changing world.

Our commitment to our school community wellbeing was recognised in January 2022 when we achieved the Wellbeing Award for Schools.

We know BSB students will be leaders of the future, but we want them to do this ethically and with an imperative to make the world a better place.

It would be hard to find a more supporting, nurturing, friendly environment for our children to be educated in.
