BRITISH PRIMARY SCHOOL IN ALMERIA
At The British School of Almeria we are a British primary school in Almeria focused on developing children’s language and cognitive skills from an early age.
Our approach combines the best British educational practices with the Spanish cultural environment, providing students with a solid foundation in both languages. Children learn through play and interactive activities that encourage their curiosity and love of learning.
Welcome to our Primary School
Welcome to our British primary school in Almería! We have created a warm and welcoming environment where students can grow and develop both academically and personally.
Our team of educators is committed every day to providing a high-quality education that prepares students for future challenges.
At The British School of Almería we believe that educating children involves helping them become independent students, but in all contexts, not just at school. The relationship between home and school is essential to achieve this.
Children learn best when they are involved in the learning process and when the activity is appropriate to their personal level. On the other hand, children must want to learn and give their best. We motivate children in different ways, through certificates, points or prizes for merits achieved.
British Primary Curriculum Methodology
In the British System, we adapt the curriculum to cover the different levels within the same class. Teachers and assistants provide support to children when they encounter any difficulties in the program. This support can be given during classes or groups can be formed and worked with them in another classroom. Children who are above the average level are given additional work and sometimes work with them in another classroom to meet their needs and present them with more motivating challenges.
Our primary courses include a very broad curriculum, offering them the opportunity to discover the world through a variety of different topics. The three core subjects are Mathematics, English Language and Science, which are taught alongside the compulsory subjects of the Spanish curriculum.
We use a theme-based curriculum which allows for a cross-curricular approach where pupils can explore a new topic through the different subjects: English, Maths, Science, Art, History, Geography, ICT, Music and Physical Education.
Our Spanish Department strives to ensure that pupils meet all the learning requirements of the Spanish system in Language and Social Studies.
Children in our school also have the opportunity to deepen their knowledge of personal and social issues through PSHE (Personal, Social and Health Education) and the assembly programme.
