About the School - The British School of
Barcelona Maresme:
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.
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 programme.
Over 2000 pupils from more than 74 nationalities attend the school and over 315
staff work at BSB, across three locations. In 2026 we will be expanding our
school, adding a state of the art campus at Maresme, east of Barcelona city.
The campus will initially enrol students from Nursery to Year 6 in 2026,
expanding to Year 13 in 2028. This is an exciting new development with a
range of specialist facilities including: state of the art classrooms, science
labs, fully equipped music and art facilities and rehearsal spaces, dedicated
play, social and study spaces, and indoor and outdoor sports facilities all set
in stunning surroundings with the mountains as a backdrop and the coast as the
frame. This is a truly exceptional setting for learning.
BSB’s reputation for ensuring the very best student experience, along with
strong academic outcomes and a programme that focuses on building character and
developing global mindset has seen the school grow from strength to strength.
However, we do not rest on our laurels, we always seek to improve, and this can
be seen from our approach to teacher development, through active professional
learning communities and reflective practice.
Our growth means that we are now looking for an additional, exceptional teacher
to join us. If you would like to be part of something special and shape an
exciting next step in your career, we would like to hear from you.
The school now has an exciting opportunity for an experienced part time Primary Music Teacher to join our fantastic team.
