Pupils develop bilingual reading and writing skills, with many reading and writing confidently in both English and Spanish by the end of Year 2. These outcomes reflect a rigorous combination of UK-trained teaching, targeted support and a broad enrichment programme.
By the end of Year 2, most pupils continue at a King's College sister school (Soto de Viñuelas or La Moraleja) with continued British curriculum and academic continuity. Others transition to leading Spanish or international universities.
