IAPS has around 50 schools beyond the UK, many of these located in districts established in Europe, Kenya, the Middle and Far East. Wherever a British education is valued, IAPS schools can be found setting the bar for quality.
Our international schools have access to a wide range of benefits, as a result of being IAPS members:
Most of the benefits enjoyed by UK members are also accessible to Heads overseas - for example, IAPS runs an International Day in advance of its main annual conference; new IAPS members overseas can access the IAPS coaching scheme online as part of their induction; and their staff have full use of over 150 self-paced CPD courses via the IAPS Digital Academy.
Overseas schools are accredited in the same way as UK schools, through fulfilling membership criteria and achieving strong inspection reports, ideally being inspected by an inspectorate recognised by the British Government for the inspection of British Schools Overseas (BSO).
An elected International Representative (IR) attends the Board meetings to report and share views on behalf of all of our overseas members, ensuring that the Association remains informed and cognisant of what is important to schools beyond the UK.
