Kensington School, founded in 1968 and located in Pozuelo de Alarcón (Madrid), remains a benchmark in British education, committed to innovation and academic excellence. With 90 highly qualified teachers and a student body of more than 1,000 pupils, the school provides a comprehensive educational environment for students aged 18 months to 18 years (Pre-Nursery to Year 13).
The school follows the English National Curriculum up to Year 9 (14 years old), after which students choose between IGCSE and the International Baccalaureate (IB) in English or the Spanish National Curriculum. This flexibility allows students to tailor their education to their university and career aspirations, with excellent results leading graduates to top universities in Spain and abroad.
Holistic education is central to Kensington's philosophy, emphasizing the arts, sports, and extracurricular activities such as concerts, tournaments, and drama performances. The school fosters close communication with families and provides on-site support with two nurses and three psychologists. As a UNICEF partner school, Kensington maintains a strong international dimension, further enhanced by offering the IB.
As a member of the Inspired Education Group, Kensington School offers students access to a global network of over 100 schools, creating exciting opportunities for school exchanges, visits, and participation in summer camps. This international connection enriches the educational experience and fosters the development of well-rounded, globally-minded students.
With more than five decades of history, Kensington School continues to lead in educational innovation, delivering cutting-edge academic programs while nurturing a community that spans generations. Recent facility upgrades, including enhancements to classrooms and early years spaces, demonstrate the school's ongoing commitment to providing a modern, dynamic learning environment that inspires excellence.
