brexit poses substantial challenges for the europa school uk - an oxfordshire based accredited european school formed by staff of the former european school of culham. in an adjournment debate in the uk house of commons on 10 january 2019, john howell mp, and nick gibb mp noted that, under the present internationally agreed framework, only national schools that have received accredited status by the board of governors of the european schools may offer the european baccalaureate, and only national schools domiciled in eu member states qualify for accredited status. they further noted that though at present the proposed withdrawal agreement provides for the school's accredited status to be extended to 2021 to allow it to transition to a new curriculum, the school's accredited status is lost in the event of a 'no-deal' brexit. mr gibb warned that though the board of governors of the european schools were willing to allow, in the event of a 'no-deal' brexit, the europa school uk to offer the european baccalaureate in partnership with the european school of bergen for those sitting exams in 2020, this was unlikely to be replicated in the future.
