Academic Organisation

The school’s educational programme is based on the English National Curriculum and offers an excellent British education to children from Pre-Nursery to University Entrance.

The curriculum leads to the G.C.S.E examinations at the end of Year 11 (age 16), principally using the IGCSE board (Cambridge International Board, recognised generally as a higher standard). These studies are officially recognised by the Spanish Ministry of Education through the process of validation.

In their final two years at King’s College, pupils study for the London University (Edexcel) GCE A Level examinations, leading to international university entrance. Alternatively, they may opt for the Spanish Bachillerato. In addition we offer the "Parte Específica" to those A Level students wishing to apply for entrance to Spanish universities. In either case students may apply for places at universities throughout the world.

There are two Directors of the Post 16 Section, one of whom is dedicated solely to students' academic progress. It is a priority of the school that students are successful in gaining places at the best possible university of their choice.

Throughout their time at the school, pupils receive advice and orientation on their academic choices and career opportunities from our Careers and University Entrance Advisory Department.

Fully qualified British staff teach the English National Curriculum. Bachillerato classes and Spanish language classes are all given by qualified Spanish teachers.
