The Firs Independent Primary School

The Firs is a small, fully authorised, independent British primary school, situated in Javea in the province of Alicante. The Firs School is a member of the National Association of British Schools in Spain (NABSS) and undergoes regular inspections by this body.

It is a co-educational day school offering a continuous education from Nursery through to Y6, ready for transfer to one of the local British senior schools in Y7. It is particularly appealing to those parents who value the benefits of a small school where individual needs can be catered for and every member of the school family is valued, regardless of academic ability. The school has a Christian ethos (though non-denominational) and is non-selective. It offers the full British National Curriculum plus Spanish. Parents are welcomed into the school and there is a friendly atmosphere. Sound, traditional teaching methods are employed and standards are high.

The expectation is the same for each child, regardless of ability – that he/she works as hard as possible to achieve his/her full potential. Staff are experienced and very supportive, both with high-flyers and equally so with children with learning difficulties. Sport, ICT and Music are important elements of school life as are after-school activities. Good behaviour, kindness and consideration are expected and manners are valued. Bullying, bad language and anti-social behaviour of any sort are not tolerated.

Situation - The school is situated in the Costa Nova district of Javea, in a quiet, rural setting. The famous Cabo la Nao lighthouse is only a few kilometres away and, as you drive down into Javea, there are spectacular views of Mount Montgo and the picturesque bay of Javea. Until recently the area was largely pine forest and this is why the school is called "The Firs".

Javea is midway between Alicante and Valencia, in the heart of the Costa Blanca. The A7 motorway is about twenty minutes drive away and either airport can be reached in around ninety minutes. The school serves a wide catchment area: Calpe and Moraira to the south, Denia to the north and inland such towns as Benissa, Teulada, Gata, Benitachell, Ondara, Orba, Pedreguer, Salon and Alcalali.

Special Announcement: Every Monday at 14.00h, free meeting for Mums and Toddlers!!
