King’s College, The British School of Madrid is a British school located in the Soto de Viñuelas neighbourhood in Tres Cantos, Madrid. It offers facilities specifically built for children between the ages of 16 weeks and 18 years (from Baby Education&Daycare to Year 13) and has a capacity for more than 1600 students.

It is located in an attractive 12 acre site in the countryside between the city and the Guadarrama mountains, but is well connected to the city centre by bus and rail.

Headmaster's Welcome


The best way to tell whether you like a school is to come along and see it for yourself. King’s College, The British School of Madrid offers a high-quality academic education and prepares your children for life beyond school.

We help young people to develop the ambition to compete with their peers from Europe, Asia and America and every year our eighteen-year-old leavers go on to a wide variety of elite universities in the UK, Spain and the USA.

They carry with them impressive personal qualities which ensure that they are in pole position in an increasingly competitive global job market. I am proud of the fact that all of our pupils have the confidence to look adults in the eye and engage in a mature conversation, whether they are speaking English or Spanish.

Visitors to King’s College, The British School of Madrid often comment on our welcoming atmosphere, the friendliness of our school and the positive relationships between pupils and staff. Learning to co-operate, be part of a team and to respect other people and yourself are central to our mission.

King’s College, The British School of Madrid offers the academic rigour along with the values and traditions of a top independent school in England. But like the best schools in the UK, we are a thoroughly modern, affordable, unpretentious organisation looking to the future and not interested in congratulating ourselves on past glories.

It would be a pleasure to welcome you to King’s College, The British School of Madrid on an ordinary working day. Preparing young people for life is what we do best. I hope we have the opportunity to do the same for your child.

 

— Matthew Taylor, Headteacher
