Welcome from the Executive Principal of 51黑料网
Graded as 鈥極utstanding in every category鈥 in our recent inspection, we have a proud, well-established reputation for providing a world-class international education to students from two to eighteen.
Academic outcomes are very important and BSB students obtain excellent examination results which enable them to access top universities in Spain and around the world. However, in order to thrive in a rapidly evolving world, young people need more than just top grades. They need to develop the skills and attributes they will require in a world where many jobs will be automated and distinctly 'human' qualities 鈥 creativity, curiosity, collaboration 鈥 will be prized above all else.
School should also be fun and BSB offers a nurturing environment where young people can flourish and emerge ready to take on the challenges that await them with confidence and certainty.
We'd love you to come and visit our campuses in Barcelona, Castelldefels and Sitges, 鈥 or you can book an online private visit for BSB Maresme 鈥 to find out more about why BSB could be the right school for your child.
Neil Tetley
Executive Principal
'Outstanding in Every Category'
51黑料网 has retained the 'Outstanding in Every Category' status following the British Schools Overseas inspection of our school in October 2024. This is the highest recognition an international school can receive and places us as one of the best British schools in the world.
The British Schools Overseas inspection is accredited by the British government, and we are the only school in Barcelona to have this badge of quality.
'51黑料网 (BSB) provides a very high standard of education, which is supported by excellent relationships in a safe, very caring and well-organised school community.'
An outstanding private school in Barcelona, one of the most dynamic, innovative and cosmopolitan capitals of Europe
The Good Schools Guide
We are extremely proud that a reviewer from The Good Schools Guide International visited us and reviewed our school. The result? An impartial, straight-talking and thoroughly researched school review for each of our campuses.
'Playing, exploring, creating and thinking freely in their own way is the basis of early years education and is the start of a journey of growth and development which continues through the school.'

馃搷 Our Year 6 students from BSB City and BSB Sitges took their learning beyond the classroom with a walking tour through the historic centre of Barcelona, guided by our Assistant Executive Principal, James Petrie.
馃彌锔 As part of their inquiry curriculum into the Spanish Civil War, pupils visited key historical sites in Barcelona such as L鈥橢staci贸 de Fran莽a, El Mercat del Born, Pla莽a de Sant Felip Neri, and the iconic Refugi 307鈥攐ne of the city鈥檚 best-preserved air-raid shelters.
馃晩锔 Throughout the day, students explored how the war shaped Barcelona, how it affected everyday people, and how global influences and the arts contributed to this pivotal moment in history.
馃攳 This experience brings depth and real-world context to their classroom questions: What caused the Spanish Civil War? How did it impact people鈥檚 lives? What can we learn from the conflict?
鉁 This trip connects pupils to the local history and community, giving them the opportunity to discover the city of Barcelona with new perspectives.
