[1] By the summer of 1980, the families secured the use of a building in Jekerstraat 86 in the then-borough of Amsterdam Nieuw-Zuid which it shared with another school.

Initially, there was not a headmaster (with a brief exception in the second half of 1981), but there was a head-teacher by the name of Linda Duffy.

Michael W. G. Roberts, who had been deputy head of a school in Newcastle, England moved to Amsterdam and joined the school in 1983 as Headmaster and class teacher of the oldest children, a mixed group from 8 to 11 years of age.

[citation needed] As the number of children increased the decision was made to create classrooms and a staff common room in the roof of the Jan van Eijckstraat building which meant the school could take in more children gradually creating year group classes rather than ones that were partially vertically grouped.

[citation needed] During these years the pupil numbers were always greatest in the Nursery and Reception and gradually decreased as the children grew older as many families made the decision to return to their home countries for their children to continue a more familiar system of education.

[citation needed] In 2010, The British School of Amsterdam was changed into a stichting (a foundation).

[citation needed] In February 2017 the school purchased Huis van Bewaring, a 19th century prison.

They renovated the building, and officially opened the site in April 2021, with capacity for 1,200 students.

The Junior and Senior schools used to be on Fred Roeskestraat, 1.5 kilometers from the current site.
