 The British Government has today announced a new system of inspections
for British International Schools. Speaking at a conference of
international school teachers in Madrid, run by the Council of British
International Schools (COBIS), a DCSF spokesperson read out a letter

education and those that are simply trading on the ‘British School’
brand.
