British Schools Overseas Inspection

BSO-m

The UK Department for Education (DfE) have a voluntary inspection scheme for overseas schools. This ensures schools provide their pupils with the skills and qualifications they need to enter or re-enter the British education system. The scheme helps to inform parents of how the standards in these schools measure up against the standards that apply to independent schools in England. For more information, click here
