Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
The school requires a uniform for all pupils. Infants wear a BSGC tracksuit, T‑shirt, white trainers or navy shoes, white socks, a BSGC sweatshirt, and a cap for trips; Juniors and Secondary wear a daily uniform of a BSGC polo, cardigan, navy trousers/shorts/skirts and navy shoes, with a PE kit including a BSGC tracksuit and a white T‑shirt.
The school provides school lunches, with lunch menus published monthly.
All pupils are members of a house system and house leaders are elected.
The British School of Gran Canaria is run as a not-for-profit organisation. All full-fee-paying parents become members of a parent association and delegate decision-making to the board of governors and the school's director. The board meets monthly with the school's director to review the school's business and finances, replicating a UK-style board.
The British School of Gran Canaria (Tafira Campus) provides education for day students aged 3 to 18. The school follows the British Curriculum, starting with the Early Years Foundation Stage and progressing to Cambridge IGCSE and A Levels. All core lessons are taught in English, while Spanish is also integrated as a subject. Physical facilities at the Tafira campus include dedicated primary and secondary patios, multi-sports pitches, an indoor sports hall, an art room, and specific study booths for older students. A central feature of the school is its Student Voice initiative, an active program where secondary students design and lead projects to improve campus life and assist local charities. Additionally, the school provides an Enrichment Programme containing over 30 extracurricular activities, ranging from Artificial Intelligence and Model United Nations to a structured Dance Academy and progressive residential trips that build student independence outside regular classroom hours.
