communication

Communication is central to our story of student success, and to keeping our community informed and connected. Below are some key methods by which communication supports the learning experience.

BCA House Council

The House Council is the elected body (combined vote from students and teachers) representing students. The Council meets regularly with the school leadership, as a group of sixteen students, to suggest areas of school improvement and work together to achieve them. The Council has five areas of work:

  • Wellbeing
  • Environment & School FacilitiesAcademics- the learning experience.
  • Events
  • Charities & Service Learning


“Every child has a right to express their views, feelings and wishes in all matters affecting them, and to have their views considered and taken seriously” Article 12, UNCRC.

Parent Representatives

Parent representatives, one per class, meet regularly with the school leadership for the following purposes:

  • To strengthen the partnership between parents and staff To support the children’s learning
  • To facilitate parental understanding of the curriculum of the school
  • To share and celebrate the successes of our community
  • To provide clarification over any issues in order to avoid confusion
  • To involve parents in the decision-making process for various improvements and changes within the school
  • To act as a forum for feedback and a voice for suggestions
  • To help make links with the wider community;
  • To capture the unique and varied skills, interests, knowledge and experience that parents can offer.

Class representatives ensure open, inclusive and regular communication with the parents whom they represent. In addition, the school leadership or class teacher may reach out to the representative for support at any time, and to keep them informed.

Useful Information

school meals and menus

Lunch for every student at BCA is freshly cooked on site every day. Our school menus are designed to meet nutritional recommendations and the principles of the Mediterranean diet.

A morning snack is also provided for our students.

We adapt our menus to any health requirement, allergies or intolerances, or specific food needs.

bus routes

BCA offers a daily transport service to and from the school which is organised around the needs of families requesting the service. Modern buses are used and comply with safety rules concerning the transportation of children, and the route is supervised by a BCA-employed monitor in order to guarantee the students are well-looked after.

school uniform

All students from Nursery to Year 11 are required to wear a uniform. There are separate uniforms for daily wear and physical education. Years 12 and 13 will have no uniform but will need to follow a dress code. Uniforms may be bought from Betes i fils in Sant Julià de Lòria.

After School Activities

An extensive program of after school activities are planned every term to truly enrich and extend the curriculum for every student.

Activities range from sports to board games, cooking to additional language lessons, and offer a fantastic opportunity to experience new things whilst encouraging them to mix with other students around the school and work with different coaches and teachers.
