A campus for the final two school years
BSB Nexus is the British School of Barcelona’s pre-university campus in Castelldefels. It focuses on the final two school years and preparation for higher education, rather than offering a nursery-to-secondary pathway of its own.
The relevant comparison is with other sixth-form or pre-university providers. Discuss the qualification routes, subject combinations and entry requirements for the intended course. A student’s university plans and completed secondary qualifications are more useful starting points here than a general comparison of all-through schools. Families transferring from another BSB campus should also confirm the arrangements for that move.

Application and budget details
The one-off matriculation charge is €3,400, with a 50% sibling reduction. Tuition-only sibling reductions are 10% for the third child, 15% for the fourth and 20% from the fifth. The published 2% annual-payment discount applied only to transfers received before 31 August 2026; that deadline has passed. Ask for a written bill covering the chosen stage and any extra services.

Joining the school
Applicants for Years 12–13 must show five GCSE grades 9–4 or equivalent, recent reports and an academic reference. They take English and maths assessments; some subjects may require further tests. Admission depends on a successful assessment and an available place. Families first discuss availability, then submit the online form, reports and identity documents. Offers have a time limit. Accepting families complete the admissions paperwork and pay matriculation to secure the place. An unsuccessful availability check may lead to the waiting list.
