Governance and leadership

Our history
 

Coruña British International School opened its doors in September 2015 as the first British school in A Coruña. We are a sister school of the pioneering O Castro British International School in Vigo, and part of the prestigious Globeducate British International Schools.

Social commitment
 

At Coruña British International School we are committed to building a caring, supportive and inclusive community, based upon our core values, and encouraging our students to understand the importance of dedicating time and effort to improving, enriching and caring for the world around them.

The school raises money for selected NGOs throughout the year, through events such as our annual book festival and reading marathon. At Christmas, the students take part in concerts at local senior citizen’s centres and organise activities such as food drives, beach clean ups and more. In addition, we take part in sporting events in support of charities, such as the Race against Meningitis, and the A Toda Vela regatta. 

Coruña British International School, along with all Globeducate schools, is working towards obtaining the Eco-Schools Green Flag Award for sustainability. Alongside this we organise activities to encourage eco-responsibility among our pupils throughout the year.

Globeducate Platinum Standard: Continuous improvement
 

All Globeducate schools take part in monitoring and quality improvement activities through a programme called the Platinum Standard. Using best practices from the global world of education, it helps schools to assess the quality of the education they provide. Using a set of quality indicators schools can then outline improvement plans in areas such as quality of teaching, effective leadership and student progress and wellbeing.
