"Working together to reach your goals"
Support for British Schools Worldwide, Developing "The Best of British Practice Internationally"
As part of Buckinghamshire Local Authority, the highest attaining shire county in England we have an excellent reputation for excellence in education. We support some of the best schools both in the UK and Worldwide that achieve top grades in examinations and uphold great educational traditions. We can help support your school too and act as a critical friend across all aspects of school life.
From working with british schools worldwide we know that a common concern is isolation, and lack of support. We are already working with a number of schools across the globe acting as their local authority, providing cost effective, quality assured and guaranteed support to meet their exact needs and requirements. This can vary from a single days in-school consultancy to long-term support contracts covering all areas of school life.
We would like to act as your Local Authority partner and provide all the support your school needs in one place and make life much simpler...
A good example is seen with our 3 year partnership with The British School in Muscat, Oman
"As a British international school that is constantly striving to deliver best practice, we decided that we need the best advice possible to help us to lead and manage our way through a constantly changing educational environment. Therefore, in September 2007 we formed a relationship with Buckinghamshire LEA, England's highest attaining shire authority, and started to benefit immediately. Bucks has provided us with first class, up-to-date, and easy to work with advisers who have provided us with high quality advice, encouragement and excellent resources. In my opinion, Bucks provides excellent value for money and makes an immediate and long lasting impact on school improvement. Our links with outstanding schools within Bucks have been rewarding and have produced some of the best CPD opportunities for staff. Engaging Bucks has been one of the best school improvement decisions that we have made."
