Thank you for considering applying for membership of BSME. Membership will be considered from schools which have been open for at least one year and that meet the definition for membership given in the BSME constitution. This indicates that to be considered:
- the school must be mainly English medium
- the curriculum must be based on significant aspects of the UK National Curriculum and/or prepare students for DfES recognised examinations such as Key Stage SATs (UK), GCSE, IGCSE or A-levels
- the Principal or Headteacher should have qualifications recognised by the DfES
- more than half the teachers (excluding those who teach the local language) should have teaching qualifications recognised by the DfES and should have DfES numbers
This form should be sent to the BSME Administrator as soon as possible. The local Country Representative will then visit your school between November and January to meet you and find out about your school.
As Head or Principal you will then be invited to meet members of the BSME Committee at its annual conference in February. The final decision concerning membership is then made at a full meeting of member schools before the end of the conference.
