How would you rate The British School of Barcelona (BSB)?
My daughter got expelled by BUROFAX saying we were not página the fees. Pandemic came, school suspended attendance of children and we parents suspended payments in accordance with New pandemic regulations, they denied everything and ignored communications and negotiations to resolve the situation, as other comments above, they're after the money (investment fund). Run away from this school if you care about your children.
By far the best quality education in the local area. Outstanding results (my son has gained great GCSEs and is now going to a top university) and the wider development of my children has also been superb! The recent inspection means it is the only BSO school in Catalunya. This says it all!
Don't get fooled by their facilities. All the rest is worthless. This school used to be one of the bests in Barcelona, but was acquired by a financial fund and since, it is just a business. Lacks of respect, bullying, non attendance of teachers (in higher classes, for MONTHS), no explanations to the parents, copy-paste reports, no obligations or responsibilities... this school is every year worse, but as it is full of rich people, able to pay almost 20.000€, they make a lot of publicity. Just ask them for the IB or A Levels results... not in line with the price you pay. You have way better options.
A giant money machine that is completely soulless. It is run like something from the 1960s. My dyslexic son cannot write faster just because you shout at him. He is much happier at his new school and achieved much better grades at GCSE than at BSB. Good pastoral provision means good relationships not a few of sports clubs.
My son was 6 years in BSB and we left the school las year very dissapointed. As other parents said, looks great outside, the take care a lot of the image they offer to parents and that image is more important than children and their education. I would not reccomend any BSB at all.
After two years, we have decided to leave school. BSB Castelldefels in not what it was. They only brag about how good they think they're, but the reality is that they don't reach educarional excellence. Currently, you're just a number with money.
BSB Sitges - Caring, high standards , exceptionally well led - most of all children are happy
Since our arrival 18 months ago, we continue to be impressed by the school. Our boys are so happy each morning, love their Teachers, friends and the variety of subjects and after school classes available to them. We are delighted to be part of the BSB community
This money based school only thinks about the Financial results given to the owners (investment fund) and give no importance to the education, they have severe bullying problems unsolved and rotation of teachers and students talk for itself. Don’t trust the looks. It’s rotten in the inside. Ask for the real grades of leaving pupils and you will see how they manipulate the truth. Just look a bit deeper and your eyes will open. Terrible value for money. This covid crisis has been the last drop to show how a bad management affects a school.
Simply the best international school in Barcelona. The teacher are superb as are the facilities for all children og row and develop. Outstanding.
