Overview
The UK is a member of the European Schools (ES) system and signatory to the associated 1957 ES Convention. The aim of the ES system is to provide a free, multi-lingual education for the children aged 4 to 18 of individuals employed by the EU institutions.

From September 2017 there will be 13 European Schools in six countries. The Department for Education (DfE) as part of its treaty obligations, has a requirement for the provision of two Inspectors to assess and maintain the quality of teaching within the ES system and the conduct and performance of UK seconded teachers within it.
