About The British School of Barcelona

The British School of Barcelona (BSB) is a private school offering education from Early Years to Secondary level across its three campuses in Sitges, Nexus, and Castelldefels. With over 1,600 students and 250 staff, BSB is one of Barcelona's leading private schools with a British curriculum. The British School of Barcelona belongs to the Cognita Group, which comprises 69 schools located in the UK, Europe, Latin America, and Southeast Asia. The Cognita educational group is committed to protecting children and young people and promoting their welfare, and expects all staff, volunteers, and third parties to share this commitment. Our protocol requires safety policies for selection and hiring, including background checks before confirming a position. BSB is an HMC school and was judged by the British Schools Overseas (BSO) 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 1,600 pupils from more than 50 nationalities attend the school, and over 250 staff work at BSB. We are based in two locations just outside the city of Barcelona – in Castelldefels, and in the cosmopolitan town of Sitges. Significant investment in the school in recent years has seen the building of a state-of-the-art Pre-University Centre (Nexus), a theatre, new science laboratories, and in 2019, the opening of a full-sized AstroTurf sports pitch and sports stadium. 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) and the Sitges (Primary) campuses are minutes away from beautiful beaches and are excellently connected by public transport. At Cognita, we strive for achieving more than you believed possible in our schools. We want it for our children, and we want it for the people who work for us. Since Cognita’s launch in 2004, we’ve built an international network of 69 schools that serve some 30,000 pupils across seven countries in the UK, Europe, Latin America, and South-East Asia. Cognita’s international network of schools and regional offices, combined with our ongoing investment in the professional development of our people, means we can offer first-class career opportunities with a global dimension. If you want to take your career further, we want to support you in achieving that goal within Cognita. Cognita Schools are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff, volunteers, and other third parties to share this commitment. Safer recruitment practice and pre-employment background checks will be undertaken before any appointment is confirmed.
