The
FirsInternational Primary School
aims to offer a high quality education in English, following the British National Curriculum, believing that every experience provides a learning opportunity and that every child can be nurtured to achieve personal excellence.
The Firs is a small, fully authorised, independent British primary school, situated in Jávea in the province of Alicante. The Firs School is a member of the National Association of British Schools in Spain (NABSS) and undergoes regular inspections by this body. It is a co-educational day school offering a continuous education from Nursery through to Y6, ready for transfer to one of the local British senior schools in Y7. It is particularly
appealing to those parents who value the benefits of a small school where individual needs can be catered for and every member of the school family is valued, regardless of academic ability.
The school has a Christian ethos (though non-denominational) and is non-selective. It offers the full British National Curriculum plus Spanish. Parents are welcomed into the school and there is a friendly atmosphere. Sound, traditional teaching methods are employed and standards are high. The expectation is the same for each child, regardless of ability – that he/she works as hard as possible to achieve his/her full potential.
Staff are experienced and very supportive, both with high-flyers and equally so with children with learning difficulties. Sport, ICT and Music are important elements of school life as are after-school activities. Good behaviour, kindness and consideration are expected and manners are valued. Bullying, bad language and anti-social behaviour of any sort are not tolerated. All in all, The Firs is a very happy school; its motto is ‘Resurgam’ – to overcome.
