Overall

The school is very new, small, cramped and badly organised. Teachers are young, inexperienced and constantly shifting. The forest is not really a forest as advertised, but a small clump of trees. Different classes are not allowed to use the facilities at different times, which was confusing and which i complained about, and which they then rectified. The school is constantly being redone, with equipment and classrooms being moved around, equipment and technology not being available as advertised on the website and teachers leaving the school constantly etc. Term times changed twice, and the beginning of autumn term was delayed by 2 weeks, which to me was very unprofessional and incredible! The teaching is done in English, but very strange to me is that most of the students in Year 6 and below don't speak English at all! So how can they learn? My son, in a class of 18, only had 3 other fluent english speakers to make friends with. Most of the class was Russian. However, the biggest point I have to make is that this school does very little about racism and bullying. My son was consistently bullied there and despite my many complaints, the school did very little, and the bullying continued and escalated into racism. This of course is unacceptable. I was forced to complain to the anti racism hotline authorities and other authorities to resolve the situation, as the school was impotent in doing anything about it. The school then threatened me with legal action if I went on social media sharing this information! The most heartbreaking thing for me was when i asked my son what he wanted most in life, and he said to me, ''' to not have xxx (bully's name) at the school.'' I am now looking for other schools in the Costa Brava area where bullying and racism are dealt with effectively and well, in order to create a safe, secure, non intimidating environment, and where professional and experienced teachers can handle students and teach well in an established, ordered, safe environment. This school does not do any of this at all.
