Academics

Santo Ángel British School teaches EYFS (Early years foundation stage), British Curriculum for students aged 3 to 17.

Curriculum
The curriculum is based on the EYFS framework and the National Curriculum. It is broad and balanced with programmes of activities to ensure pupil progress. Resources have been invested across primary and KS3 to provide a coherent programme as pupils progress. The language of instruction is English and pupils demonstrate good speaking and listening across the curriculum. The PSHE programme reinforces the school's values, but the Year 9 programme does not currently provide sufficient guidance in preparation for Key Stage 4 (KS4) and career decisions. As the school expands to the secondary stage, IGCSE programmes are planned for the next academic year, with recruitment of computer science and humanities specialists anticipated and ICT infrastructure being developed to support learning.

Student Teacher Ratio
The teacher-to-pupil ratio is good across the school.
Wellbeing

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)
The PSHE programme reinforces the school's values and supports pupils' personal development. The Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural Development framework fosters positive relationships, a strong sense of community, and pupil wellbeing. Pupils are free from bullying and feel listened to, and they are confident and encouraged to participate actively in lessons. Self-esteem is developed through supportive feedback and praise.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)
The school is committed to offering an inclusive curriculum to ensure the best possible progress for all students, whatever their needs or abilities. Every child's contribution is valued and diversity is celebrated, with provision for different needs treated as a whole‑school responsibility. The four broad SEN categories are communications and interaction, cognition and learning, social, emotional and mental health needs (SEMH), and sensory and/or physical needs. Identification, assessment and planning are ongoing, with Individual Education Plans (IEPs), parental involvement, and collaboration with external agencies as needed, including staged support and access to Educational Psychologists or Speech Therapists where appropriate.

Mental Wellbeing
Mental wellbeing is addressed within the SEN framework, which recognises social, emotional and mental health needs (SEMH) as a key area for support. Wellbeing is reinforced through the PSHE programme and pastoral practices that promote positive relationships and a caring school climate. When required, the school can involve the Educational Psychologist and other specialists to set targets and strategies for individual students. Positive relationships, a sense of belonging, and active participation in school life support pupils' emotional resilience.

Safeguarding
The school has safeguarding and anti‑bullying policies, with checks in place to ensure safe recruitment of all staff. Access to the site is supervised at the start and end of the day, and there are clear evacuation routes and accident procedures. Pupil welfare is safeguarded through comprehensive measures and pupils are protected and listened to, with a strong emphasis on a safe, respectful school environment.
Parent Experience

History
Santo Angel British School opened in September 2015 on the site of its Spanish sister school, Colegio Santo Angel. Both schools are privately owned by Laurentino Galán. The British school is currently authorised from nursery to year 9 and has about 200 pupils on roll, with 95% Spanish and five other nationalities represented. Expansion into Key Stage 4 (years 10 and 11) is planned.

Community
Pupils behave well around school and are interested in their work. They feel cared for by their teachers and enjoy school. Positive relationships are at the heart of pupil experiences and a strong sense of community permeates the school. Pupils are free from bullying and feel listened to; they are confident and encouraged to participate actively in lessons.
