The British School of Almería

The school aims to inspire young minds and foster a passion for learning by encouraging students to become independent, critical thinkers. It places significant importance on personal, moral, and social development, promoting values that help students become responsible, open-minded global citizens. The school is committed to 'Amazing Learning' through the International Schools Partnership, focusing on helping every student reach their full potential.

The school follows the British Curriculum, offering Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), Primary (Key Stages 1 and 2), Secondary (Key Stages 3 and 4 leading to IGCSEs), and Sixth Form (leading to A-Levels). The curriculum is supplemented by the Spanish curriculum, with specific subjects like Language and Social Studies to ensure bicultural proficiency. Students are taught by native, qualified teachers, ensuring full English language immersion.

Graduates have achieved success at universities in Spain, the United Kingdom, and other countries worldwide. The school prepares students for globally recognised IGCSE and A-Level examinations, which facilitate entry into international higher education institutions.

The school provides a dedicated SEND department that coordinates support programmes for students who require extra help. Additionally, the 'Inspiring Minds' programme offers challenging activities for students who wish to extend their learning and develop new skills. Classroom assistants support teachers in Early Years and early primary to work with individuals and small groups.

The admissions process is open year-round and involves an initial contact, a school tour or virtual call, and an assessment or taster day. Prospective students may be required to provide school reports from the previous two years and complete English, Mathematics, and Science placement tests. Offers are made based on English proficiency and academic performance, with conditional offers available for students who require additional English support.

Located in Roquetas de Mar, the school occupies a single site with modern facilities including an independent Early Years area with a siesta room and outdoor space. The primary department is located on the ground floor, while the upper floor houses three science laboratories, an art studio, a media studies room, two ICT rooms, and a library. Students also have access to adjacent specialist sports facilities and a private swimming pool.
