Welcome to The British School of Almería in Roquetas de Mar

The British School of Almería is recognised among the best private schools in Spain by leading rankings such as Forbes and MiCole, a distinction that reflects the quality of its educational approach and the commitment of its entire school community.

This recognition is the result of the combined efforts of students, families and teachers, as well as an educational model that brings together academic excellence, innovation and holistic development. As part of International Schools Partnership, the school continues to evolve, offering a first-class international education that prepares every student to reach their full potential and face the challenges of the future with confidence.

At The British School of Almería, students progress with the British curriculum from Early Years through to Sixth Form, complemented by the required subjects from the Spanish education system to achieve dual qualifications with national and international recognition.

This approach combines strong academic foundations with the development of critical thinking, creativity and independence. Teaching delivered entirely in English, together with a broad and balanced curriculum, prepares students to succeed in their IGCSEs and A Levels and to access prestigious universities in Spain and around the world.

Students learn through high expectations, dynamic methodologies and Learning.First™, making their progress visible every day. This approach drives continuous improvement, strengthens their confidence and contributes to achievements such as 92% of IGCSE grades between 4 and 9, developing students who are prepared to take on any academic or personal challenge with success.

Across every stage, learning is progressive and personalised. By the end of their school journey, 96% of A Level grades are between A* and E, supporting access to prestigious universities in Spain and around the world.

At The British School of Almería, English is the language of instruction from the earliest years, enabling students to develop their language skills naturally in a fully bilingual environment. Throughout their school journey, they strengthen their English through dedicated preparation for official Cambridge examinations, achieving internationally recognised qualifications.

Students also reinforce their Spanish and have the opportunity to learn a third language, French or German, progressively developing their listening, communication and expressive skills. With the support of specialist teachers and a practical approach to learning, they gain confidence and use languages fluently in both academic and everyday contexts.

At The British School of Almería, education goes beyond academic learning. Through the ISP Life Competencies Framework, students develop essential skills for their personal and professional growth, including communication, collaboration, creativity, leadership, resilience and problem-solving.

These competencies are embedded in daily school life and support students from the earliest stages, helping them to understand themselves better, work with others and approach new challenges with confidence. In this way, they gain the tools they need to thrive with confidence, independence and responsibility in a constantly evolving world.

Our teachers play a key role in our students’ success. Dedicated professionals with extensive international experience and a deep commitment to education, they create a learning environment where every student feels supported, motivated and ready to take on new challenges.

Our teaching team understands each student’s individual needs and uses innovative methodologies to encourage curiosity, critical thinking and independence. Through close relationships with students and their families, teachers guide each child’s academic and personal development, helping them grow in confidence and achieve their goals.

The safety and wellbeing of our students are a shared responsibility across the whole school community. We have a robust Safeguarding policy, clear protocols and established procedures to prevent, identify and respond to any situation that may affect our students.

All staff receive specific child protection training and work in line with best practice to ensure every student is listened to, respected and supported. We also promote a culture of care and trust, where students develop the confidence they need to express themselves, ask for help and approach their learning in a protected environment.

Every student receives the support they need to discover their interests, define their goals and make informed decisions about their academic and professional future. Through the Future Pathways programme, students benefit from personalised guidance on subject choices, pathway planning and preparing their university applications.

This support enables them to access prestigious universities in Spain and internationally. Our students continue their education at institutions such as the University of Almería, the University of Málaga, Comillas Pontifical University, the Complutense University of Madrid, the University of Granada, the University of Cambridge, King’s College London, The University of Edinburgh, the University of Manchester, Maastricht University and Trinity College Dublin, among others.

Through programmes such as ILOS (International Learning Opportunities for Students), ISP Model United Nations, ISP Buddy Exchange, ISP Virtual Choir, ISP Chess Masters and ISP Science Fairs, students collaborate on international projects, exchange ideas and develop skills such as intercultural communication, leadership and teamwork.

These experiences enrich their academic education, broaden their perspective of the world and prepare them to thrive with confidence in an increasingly international environment.

Every space is designed to enhance learning, creativity and wellbeing. The campus features specialist classrooms, science laboratories, sports facilities, a swimming pool, a library and outdoor areas that enable students to learn in dynamic, safe and stimulating environments.

Its proximity to the beach and the use of spaces adapted to each educational stage support an active, balanced learning experience. This environment inspires curiosity, encourages collaboration and supports each student’s academic, personal and physical development.

The extracurricular programme complements academic learning with activities designed to develop each student’s talent, creativity and social skills. Through options such as the Music School, Language Academy, sports activities, workshops and Saturday School, students discover new interests and strengthen their abilities in a motivating environment.

These experiences allow them to learn, enjoy themselves and grow beyond the school day, fostering independence, teamwork and confidence as they develop their interests in a safe and enriching setting.
