Our school welcomes SEN pupils provided that the school SEN department can offer the support that is recommended by our educational psychologists or other relevant experts. Where a SEN pupil requires specialist and/or 1-1 support this will be arranged at an additional cost to the parents/guardians. We also welcome pupils with disabilities provided that we feel we are able to properly meet their needs once reasonable adjustments have been made.
Yes. The British School of Córdoba is committed to an inclusive educational model that prioritizes personalized learning and academic differentiation. Our specialized support includes: The Language Unit: We provide intensive English as an Additional Language (EAL) and Spanish as an Additional Language (SAL) programs. This is essential for international students and boarders to access the full curriculum effectively. Differentiated Instruction: Thanks to our small class sizes (with a low student-to-teacher ratio), our academic staff can tailor their teaching methods to suit different learning profiles and paces. Academic Tutoring & Boarding Support: Every student has a personal tutor who monitors their progress. For our boarders and students in host families, our Heads of Boarding work closely with teachers to ensure a consistent support system between school and home. Curriculum Flexibility: We offer different academic pathways (such as IGCSE, A-Levels, and the IB Diploma) to ensure that students can choose the subjects and levels that best align with their individual strengths and learning needs."
Yes. At BSC we have The language Unit. It´s a department that has been designed to strengthen the linguistic skills of international students who need to improve their English or Spanish in order to reach a higher level of language proficiency. The lessons take place during school hours and follow a progressive and flexible structure. This allows students to attend according to their individual learning needs and objectives. The Language Unit provides specialised support in English and Spanish to strengthen academic skills and support students’ day-to-day progress in school by building confidence in both languages. At the same time, the programme supports university progression by helping students meet language entry requirements, develop effective study strategies, and succeed in international academic environments through a personalised approach.

Yes. We provide a high-quality catering service with on-site kitchens, ensuring that all meals are freshly prepared daily using Mediterranean ingredients. Our balanced menus are designed by nutritionists to support the physical and cognitive development of our students. For our international and boarding community, we offer full dietary flexibility, catering to international tastes as well as medical, religious, or ethical requirements (such as vegetarian, gluten-free, or halal options). This service is a key part of our 'home away from home' philosophy, providing a nutritious and social dining experience for all our students.
BSC adapts its menus to any health requirement, allergies or intolerances or specific food needs. If your child has any allergies or requires a special diet, please inform us before the school year begins.
