At Elian’s British School La Nucía we love to recognise the work done by our pupils, which is why we like to take part in competitions, both nationally and globally.
These include such prestigious awards as the Outstanding Cambridge Learner Award, the Pearson Awards, and a variety of external sporting competitions.

Pearson.
The Pearson group is an international educational organisation with 4 million students registered in 2500 schools in the 112 countries where it operates.
The company partners with educational institutions, such as Elian’s British School La Nucía, universities and companies around the world to offer its qualifications to more than 3.4 million students each year.
The Pearson Outstanding Learner Awards (OPLA) are open to students from all over the world (except the UK).
Sporting competitions
Sports are crucial for schools, offering numerous benefits to both students and the community. Sporting competitions go beyond the improvement of sports skills; they also instil essential values like teamwork, perseverance, and respect.
Involving the entire school community, including students, teachers, parents, and friends, creates a supportive atmosphere that enhances students’ well-being and sense of belonging, enriching their overall educational experience.
Our annual Sports Day, held at La Nucía’s Camilo Cano athletics track, promotes physical activity and regular exercise, contributing to a healthy lifestyle from an early age. This initiative helps in developing physical skills, strength, endurance, and coordination, fostering lifelong sports skills. Moreover, it teaches important social skills such as teamwork, effective communication, conflict resolution, and respect for rules and authority.
Participating in sports also boosts students’ confidence and self-esteem, as success at both individual and team levels demonstrates their ability to overcome challenges and achieve goals.
Looking back at 2023, our students achieved significant milestones in various sports, earning gold and silver medals in the Nordic and Swedish climbing championships respectively.
Becoming a national Under-16 golf champion, winning gold in a provincial paddle tennis tournament, and securing top positions in dressage, among other accomplishments.
We take immense pride in their achievements and aim to incorporate more sporting activities into the school curriculum for our students’ diverse interests and development.
