About the School - The British School of Barcelona (City)
The British School of Barcelona (BSB) is a great school in a wonderful location.
We are an HMC school and were judged by a recent BSO (British Schools Overseas) Inspection to be outstanding in every area, including quality of education, safeguarding, pupil welfare, and academic outcomes.
We are based in three locations, two just outside the city of Barcelona– in Castelldefels, where we have a Primary, Secondary, and Pre-University 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 main campus which opened in September 2023.
Over 2000 pupils from more than 74 nationalities attend the school across the three campuses and over 315 staff work at BSB.
BSB City Secondary has a curriculum based on the English National Curriculum.
There is a wide range of GCSEs offered followed by the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme in Years 12 and 13, all alongside a significant enrichment programme.
