For the second time in a row this school in Romania, offering the British Curriculum, has been awarded the rating of ‘Excellent’ in all categories by the UK Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI). The British School of Bucharest (BSB) received the highest assessments for both ‘the quality of pupils’ learning and achievement’ alongside ‘the quality of pupils’ personal development’.
The British School of Bucharest’s recipe for success
The last few years have been an extraordinary challenge for the education system around the world. Teachers, students and parents have had to adapt to the limitations imposed by the coronavirus pandemic and, for most of them, it has been a lesson in survival.
For the British School of Bucharest however, it was an opportunity to test one of the most valuable skills that teachers here try to develop in every student, the power of adaptability. The best solutions were sought and huge investments in safety measures were made so that BSB became the first school in Romania to be certified as a ‘Trusted Facility’ following an external audit conducted by DEKRA, last November. Moreover, the teachers focused all their efforts on ensuring that their students could continue their education at the highest level.
‘Our goal is for students who enter our School to evolve and develop so that they become confident adults in themselves and their abilities, able to cope with changes of any kind, to ultimately become global leaders who affect positive changes in all areas of society and, above all, to be happy within themselves. In order for this to be possible, we encourage our students to be active in class, not to be passive spectators; to ask questions, to experiment, to be able to complete a project independently and also to work as a team. Our amazing staff expertly help our students navigate the complexities of learning. In addition to the usual subjects, we offer them a very generous range of co-curricular activities to choose from, so that it is much easier for them to develop their skills and interests and discover new ones’, said Mr. Grant Gillies, the BSB Headmaster (in picture below).
The results have started to show quickly. The British School of Bucharest has been nominated for the International School Awards - Safeguarding category and has received the highest possible judgements on Educational Quality in its 2022 ISI Report. Very few schools in the world manage to receive the ‘Excellent’ qualification in both ‘quality of pupils’ learning and achievement’ and ‘quality of pupils' personal development’ and even fewer sustain to keep it.
