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, it’s motto is
"Resurgam" – to overcome. |
