Colegio San Patricio
Reviews
- Madrid private school across multiple campuses, operated under the Inspired Education group and ranked highly in Spanish lists like Forbes and El Mundo.
- forum threads from Spain-bound expats list San Patricio alongside Liceo Europeo and British Council School as a default top-tier Madrid option.
- Parent parent trackers run mixed: Serrano averages near 4.0 and La Moraleja near 4.2 on MiCole, with positives clustering around teacher commitment, values and student community.
- The most consistent negative voice is structural: reviewers attribute a perceived decline since the school joined an investment-fund group, citing teacher turnover and saying the level of personal attention does not match the school's claims.
- One parent specifically flagged a difficult secondary experience at the El Soto campus, separate from the more uniformly positive primary feedback.
Positives
- Madrid-elite positioning. Routinely named and Spanish forums as one of Madrid's premium private school options.
- Teacher commitment and values. Parents praise pastoral care, sports culture, school trips and the values-driven ethos.
Considerations
- Inspired ownership and turnover. Multiple reviews link declining quality and high teacher turnover to the investment-group ownership.
- Variation between stages. Primary is more uniformly praised; some parents describe a markedly worse secondary experience, particularly at El Soto.
