The National Association of British Schools in Spain will hold its 35th Annual Conference from 7^th to 10^th of March 2013 in Seville.

UK Trade and Investment (UKTI) and the British Embassy will once again support NABSS in the organisation of the conference and in our joint Education Village.

NABSS was represented at the recent launching of the International Child Protection Certificate, which took place at the British Embassy in Madrid on 29^th November, 2012.

Mr. Giles Paxman, British Ambassador, opened the meeting and emphasised the importance of this initiative which has been the product of the hard work undertaken by The Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre ( CEOP ) together with The Association of Chief Police Officers Criminal Records Office ( ACRO ).

The British School of Córdoba has exhibited an exhibition of 39 paintings by its students in the prestigious exhibition centre of the Fundación CajaSur in the heart of the city. All the works on display achieved A or A* in Art and Design at IGCSE or A level (Cambridge International Examinations). The exhibition was officially opened on the 26th November by Carmen Sousa Cabrera, a local councillor, accompanied by a party of representatives from the town hall and the Spanish educational authorities. All the official party, guests and parents expressed their satisfaction and surprise at the standard and variety of work on display. The huge success of the exhibition, with a continuous flow of visitors throughout the week, guarantees thatit will not be the last of its kind. Aramark, the international catering company, generously sponsored the event.

Cambridge has devised a series of online courses designed to help existing Cambridge teachers improve their teaching style by learning from expert online tutors. This January we will be running the following courses:

Dear Members,

I have the pleasure of announcing our first two NABSS only* webinar sessions of 2012/13. Cambridge International Examinations has developed these online sessions to meet the increasing demands for professional development worldwide; providing a quick targeted approach to training that enables us to focus on specific papers / topics in manageable 2hr sessions. I enclose a pdf which overviews the two sessions and give details of how to register.

Following the success of last year British Universities Fair, The British Council are delighted to announce their second UK Higher Education Fair in Spain, in collaboration with UKTI, Expansión and Círculo de Formación.   A group of British Universities are visiting Madrid (Palacio de Congresos – 21^st November) and Málaga (St George’s School – 23^rd November) - full details available onhttp://www.britishcouncil.org/spain/events. 

The Fair is organized to enable your sixth-formers to fully inform themselves face-to-face with university representatives before making their UCAS choice.  To avoid overcrowding, we would like to stagger the arrival of school groups at half-hour intervals assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. Once you are there, there will be no limit on your time with us.  If you are bringing a group, please ring Raquel Fernández-Montes on 91 337 3564, indicating your preferred arrival time. 

In order to further promote British Education in Spain, we have organized some general talks for parents or students from non-British schools, less familiar with British Education.  We would be very grateful if you could promote this event to parents in your school by including a link to the Fair webpage on your website.  Below is a web button, should you wish to use it in your web - linked tohttp://www.britishcouncil.org/spain/events. 

Training scheme for member schools is ready, the CPD is separated into 3 areas:

1. Individual CPD linking to the NCSL.
2. Madrid based training, where we run day courses and
3. Regional training.

Places for the courses are on a first come first served basis. All these courses are available for reservation from today.
We will follow this mail up shortly with information about next year’s conference which will be in Seville from the 7-10 March 2013.
Best regards from all the Executive Committee.
