Our Year 3 to Year 6 students at the South campus of The British School of Gran Canaria recently took part in an exciting touch rugby event alongside pupils from Canterbury School.

The event was organised and led by our Year 10 GCSE students, who did a fantastic job supporting activities and helping create a fun and positive experience for everyone involved.

As an international school in Gran Canaria following the British curriculum, we value opportunities that encourage teamwork, leadership and confidence through sport and extracurricular activities.

Well done to all the students who took part and to everyone involved in organising such an enjoyable event.

BSGC is proud to be the only school on Gran Canaria to hold British Schools Overseas (BSO) accreditation, awarded by the UK Department for Education. This recognition confirms that the school meets the high standards expected of leading schools in the United Kingdom.

Our latest inspection report provides a very positive evaluation, highlighting the quality of teaching and learning, strong academic outcomes, excellent student behaviour, and a supportive pastoral environment.

BSO recognition ensures that BSGC students receive an internationally respected education, preparing them for successful progression to universities in the UK, Spain, and around the world.

This achievement reflects our commitment to delivering a high-quality, well-rounded British education within a caring and ambitious school community.

The British School of Gran Canaria has joined a collaboration agreement with the Universidad del Atlántico Medio, an initiative that strengthens our commitment to the academic and personal development of our school community.

This agreement offers a 10% direct discount on undergraduate and postgraduate programmes for students, school staff and direct family members, as well as the opportunity to organise free talks, workshops and training sessions on topics of interest to students and families.

This is a flexible framework of collaboration, designed to create real value for our community and expand educational opportunities for our students.

This past week, pupils across The British School of Gran Canaria enjoyed a range of exciting educational trips, giving them the opportunity to explore, discover and learn through real-life experiences beyond the classroom.

As an international school in Gran Canaria following the British curriculum, we believe educational visits play an important role in enriching learning and helping children make meaningful connections with their topics of study.

Nursery and Year 1 Tafira Visit Tío Isidro Farm

Our Nursery and Year 1 pupils in Tafira enjoyed a wonderful trip to Tío Isidro Farm, where they had the opportunity to explore the natural surroundings, learn about farm life and interact with animals.

The visit provided a hands-on learning experience, allowing pupils to discover more about nature, food production and the environment while enjoying a fun day outdoors with their classmates.

Nursery South Explore Mogán Garden Centre

As part of their current topic, “Things That Grow in Our Garden,” our Nursery South pupils visited the Mogán Garden Centre.

During the trip, children explored a variety of plants, flowers and gardening spaces, helping them better understand how plants grow and what they need to thrive. The visit encouraged curiosity, observation and a love of the natural world.

Year 2 Tafira Discover Poema del Mar

Meanwhile, our Year 2 pupils in Tafira visited Poema del Mar, where they deepened their learning about animals and the oceans.

Students were fascinated by the wide variety of marine life and habitats, learning more about sea creatures, ecosystems and the importance of protecting our oceans. The trip brought their classroom topic to life in an engaging and memorable way.

Learning Through Experience

These visits are a wonderful example of how learning extends beyond the classroom at The British School of Gran Canaria. Through educational trips, pupils develop curiosity, confidence and a deeper understanding of the world around them.

We would like to thank all staff involved in organising these valuable experiences and congratulate our pupils for their enthusiasm and excellent behaviour throughout the week.
