Our Community

We have a rich community of pupils, parents and staff, supporting the school and its students in so many ways. We seek to help our wider communities, to which we have social and moral responsibilities. This happens through charitable giving and through the community activities we support. Community involvement in school life makes for a closer partnership in the realisation of our common aims.​

The British International School, Cairo is a not-for-profit school with charitable status. It is owned by a perpetual trust of current parents who are members of The British International School Society (BISS). Board Members are elected by and responsible to the BISS, in accordance with its constitution. Officials from the Ministry of Social Affairs oversee the BISS AGM and independent auditors regulate the Society’s financial affairs. Communication with parents occurs via the AGM, direct bulletins and through a dedicated email address.

The constitution lays down the number of elected Governors/Board Members (nine) and defines their powers. BISS parents choose Governors for their range of skills and experience that will help support the School. Board Members bring helpful and wide-ranging knowledge as a consequence of their particular background. All Governors are deeply committed to the continued success of the school. Board Members undergo governance training and receive safeguarding training in accordance with regulatory requirements.
