Upholding Excellence in British Education
The Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) plays a crucial role in maintaining the high standards of independent schools across the UK and beyond. Operating under the framework set by the UK Department for Education (DfE), ISI conducts rigorous, objective evaluations to ensure that schools meet the highest expectations in education, safeguarding, and leadership.
ISI inspections provide a thorough review of all aspects of school life, from the quality of teaching and student welfare to school leadership and legal compliance. Their mission is to offer parents, students, and the broader public clear and comprehensive insights into the quality of independent education, reinforcing confidence in the institutions they assess. At BGS, we are committed to meeting and exceeding these standards, ensuring an exceptional learning experience for every student
Bringing Elite UK Football Training to Kurdistan
British Grammar Schools in Kurdistan are proud to be the regional partners of the prestigious Brooke House College Football Academy in the United Kingdom. This exclusive collaboration provides our students with unparalleled opportunities to develop their football skills under elite coaching and training methodologies.
For the first time in the Kurdistan Region—and in Iraq—young footballers at the British Grammar School Football Academy can compete in the United Kingdom’s youth football leagues, playing alongside some of the most prominent youth teams in the country. This initiative opens doors for aspiring footballers to showcase their talent on an international stage, gaining exposure, experience, and potential pathways to professional football.
With top-tier coaching, access to professional training programs, and direct links to UK football development pathways, our partnership ensures that students with a passion for football receive the very best opportunities to excel.

We value ISI’s ongoing support and are dedicated to maintaining the rigorous standards required for British Schools Overseas. Our collaboration ensures that every BGS student benefits from an internationally recognized education that prepares them for a successful future.
