Akrotiri School is part of Service Children's Education (SCE), a Government Agency within the MOD, which administers schools for British Servicemen and Servicewomen, and Civil Servants throughout the world.

In Cyprus the local responsibility for schools rests with the Senior Assistant Education Officer (Cyprus), who is the designated 'Competent Authority', responsible to SCE.

Our school is one of two primary schools in the Western Sovereign Base Area (WSBA).  Both schools feed St John's Secondary School in Episkopi.

The school pupil population is usually round about 550 children from 3+ to 11 years old [Nursery to Y6),  which makes it the biggest SCE school on the island, including the secondary schools. We have a 3+ Foundation School which surpasses the opportunities for pre-school education available in the UK.

The school is currently staffed by 23 teachers including the Head, with the average class size approximately 26. It is well resourced with up to date furniture and equipment throughout and contains all the usual books found in any UK school. The school follows the English National Curriculum, and we strive to mirror all the best practices found in the UK.   Inspection reports show that we do very well in this regard.

The school has a new block for Key Stage 1 children, and a second new block for Y5 & Y6 was opened in September 1996. Our new Foundation Stage building opened in September 2007. The rest of the school is housed throughout in purpose built accommodation.
