The UK Government’s Department for Education (DfE) operates an inspection scheme which is designed to measure British Schools Overseas (BSO) against the standards that apply to independent schools in England. This inspection scheme is designed to inform and reassure parents about the quality of education offered by the school.

Children’s International School (CIS) located in Lagos, Nigeria was inspected in October 2015. The school was delighted to receive a BSO Inspection Report which recognised CIS as a good school with outstanding features. As a result of this inspection, the school has demonstrated it meets the Standards for British Schools Overseas. This judgement is endorsed by the British Government, quality assured by the Office for Standards in Education (OfSTED) and is valid for a period of three years.
