The British School of Gran Canaria operates on two campuses: Tafira near Las Palmas and the South School near Maspalomas. The facilities are modern and purpose-built and were renovated in 2015 to support teaching and learning methods and to reinforce a family atmosphere. The Tafira campus houses Infants, Juniors and Secondary, together with administration and catering; the South School houses one Primary sector for ages 2–11 with ten large classrooms and several smaller learning spaces. The South School provides a dining room and a kitchen, while both campuses include two small library areas (one for Juniors and one for Infants) and classrooms equipped with interactive whiteboards. The Ágora at Tafira is the central hub for drama and movement, exhibitions, workshops, displays, clubs, meetings and assemblies, and outdoor spaces support physical education with a small synthetic 5-a-side pitch, a volleyball court and hard-surface areas for basketball and football; off-site facilities are used to enhance sport.
