BSO Report 2022

In June 2022, our school was visited by Penta International UK, an organisation approved by the British Government to inspect schools overseas. The visit’s purpose was to reaccredit the school, which happens from 3 to 3 years.

During the inspection visit, 16 lessons or parts of lessons were observed. The school’s documentation and policies were analysed and data reviewed. Students’ workbooks were scrutinised, and discussions were held with the senior staff, the management team, teachers, teaching assistants, a board member from the local municipality, parents and informally with students. Two and a half school days were monitored.

The report showed that ISO has many strengths. These include:

• Students’ positive approach to school and to their learning: they really enjoy being at ISO;
• Teachers are good at supporting fun and engagement in the classroom, which further ensures learning;
• The governance, support and vision of the board, which is strong;
• The vision, energy, drive and commitment of the director and the headteacher, which underpin ISO’s development and continuous improvement;
• The high value placed on the students’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development;
• The good progress students make learning the English language;
• The high-quality administrative support provided by the school’s office team.

The International School of Oradea meets all the standards required for British Schools Overseas accreditation. This makes us the only international school in Bihor County that teaches the British curriculum.

BSO Report 2019

We are pleased to announce that ISO has successfully received the accreditation as a British School Overseas (BSO), having passed the inspection carried out by Penta International in May 2022.

Meeting the criteria of this inspection means that our school provides the students with the skills and qualifications they need to enter or re-enter the British education system, as we adhere to the same standards as schools in the UK.
