Company Description Colegio Hispano Britanico, Lanzarote, Canary Islands, Spain Role Description The position is for teaching physics from Year 9 to A Level (Year 13) in a British school. Colegio Hispano Británico is a small school based in Lanzarote. There are 400 children from age 3 to 18. We have two classes per year group except in sixth form where there is one class. Maximum class size is 18 students but some classes are much smaller including sixth form where there is normally 5 or 6 students per class. Although in Spain, the school follows the British curriculum and is BSO approved; so our inspections are quality assured by OFSTED. There are only around 250 BSO approved schools throughout the world and we were one of the first to receive this authorisation. The school is very academic. Our students take 14 subjects as GCSE and some have obtained up to 18 GCSE passes. Our students have been accepted by the best universities in the world including Oxford and Cambridge. For the last academic year, our students received Cambridge awards for the best Biology, Chemistry and Physics A Level results Spain.

This is offered at a reduced price of 500€ per month including water, electric and internet. It is a short walk from where the school bus stops which teachers can use for free to get to and from school. Therefore, once taxes, social security and rent are deducted the teacher should have around 1100€ a month to live on. The cost of living in Lanzarote is very reasonable and we can also provide a car at a reasonable rate which will allow the teacher greater mobility to enjoy the island. Lanzarote is a very popular tourist destination and UNESCO world heritage site. It is volcanic in origin and has all year-round good weather. In the winter the temperatures can sometimes stay in the mid 20’s during the day and in the summer the northerly trade winds keep it cooler than the south of Spain.

If they have not lived in Spain before we will arrange all the paperwork.
