The British School of Barcelona

The British School of Barcelona (BSB) is a great school in a wonderful location. We are an HMC school and were judged by BSO (British Schools Overseas) Inspection to be outstanding in many areas, including safeguarding, pupil welfare, pupil progress and outcomes.

BSB is a large, very popular school for children aged 3 to 18. Our curriculum is based on the English National Curriculum, and we offer a wide range of GCSEs, A levels and the International Baccalaureate Diploma, all alongside a significant enrichment program.

Over 1900 pupils from more than 50 nationalities attend the school and over 290 staff work at BSB. We are based in three locations, two just outside the city of Barcelona – in Castelldefels, where we have a Primary and Secondary campus, and in the cosmopolitan town of Sitges, where we have another Primary campus. BSB City is in the heart of the city of Barcelona itself with a Foundation campus (built September 2021), and a brand-new Secondary campus which will opened in September 2023.

The growth of the school has been accompanied by significant investment over recent years, including the building of a state-of–the art Pre-University Centre (Nexus), a full-sized 4G rugby and football pitch, dedicated STEM facilities and the new BSB City campuses.

The Location

The school enjoys a location to the south of Barcelona, one of the most vibrant, culturally rich cities in the world. Both the Castelldefels (Primary and Secondary) campuses are minutes away from beautiful beaches and are excellently connected by public transport.
