Welcome to the British School Tripoli, Libya. Whether you are an existing family, a prospective family or are simply curious about what the British School Tripoli represents and provides, I hope you find the following pages enjoyable and informative.

We pride ourselves on being a warm, welcoming and friendly school, offering the very best education for the children in our care.

The British School has been in operation since 1968 and was originally set up by The British Embassy, for its diplomatic children. The school has long since become self-financing and self-governing, with an elected parent body representing the Management Committee. The British Ambassador remains as the patron of the school.

The school has recently undergone significant development due to the continued rise in student numbers; which have more than trebled over the past four years. As part of our continued development we have expanded beyond the primary years for the first time in the school's history and now accommodate Years 7, 8 and Year 9 to be added this September 2010. In January, we renovated two additional buildings to separately accommodate children from Years 5 to Year 9; allowing us to have a second Nursery, Reception and Year 1 class in the original building. The new building includes teaching rooms, a Key Stage 3 library, a specialist Art room, DT room, MFL room, fitness suite and a separate shaded courtyard. Even with this significant expansion, we have managed to retain a very warm atmosphere, where children from over thirty different nationalities, of all ages mix happily together.

I consider myself very fortunate to be the Headmaster of such a happy school. Everyone is proud of the British School and I hope that when you have looked through our website you will appreciate what we offer to our children.

I am always keen to provide tours of our school and welcoming new families into our community. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you would like further information.

 Best regards,

Alistair Bond

Headmaster
