About the School-The British School of Barcelona (Maresme):

The British School of Barcelona (BSB) is a great school in a wonderful location. We are an HMC school and were judged by a recent BSO (British Schools Overseas) inspection to be outstanding in every area, including quality of education, safeguarding, pupil welfare and academic outcomes.

BSB is a large, very popular school for children aged 3 to 18. Our curriculum is based on the English National Curriculum, and we offer a wide range of GCSEs, A levels, BTEC and the International Baccalaureate Diploma (IB), all alongside a significant enrichment programme.

Approximately 2350 students from more than 74 nationalities attend the school and over 335 staff work  are based in three locations, two just outside the city of Barcelona – in Castelldefels, where we have a Primary, Secondary and Pre-University campus, and in the cosmopolitan town of Sitges, where we have another Primary campus. There are two more campuses in Barcelona, located in the heart of the city and featuring a Foundation campus, BSB Esperanza, which offers EY and Year 1 (opened in September 2021), and a brand-new main campus, BSB Luca, which offers Primary, Secondary, and Pre-University education and opened in September 2023.

In September 2026 we will be opening another campus, initially for EYFS and Primary-aged students, north of Barcelona, in the Maresme area.

The growth of the school has been accompanied by significant investment over recent years, including the building of a state-of–the art Pre-University Centre (Nexus), a full-sized 4G rugby and football pitch, dedicated STEAM facilities and the new BSB City and Maresme campuses.

Barcelona is a wonderful place to live, combining an amazing city with beaches and mountains nearby. The quality of life is excellent with a mild climate and year-round sunshine. The school now has an exciting opportunity for an experienced Monitor to join our fantastic team.
