In Brief
If you want a British-curriculum day school in La Moraleja with top IGCSE results and a manageable price tag, King's La Moraleja is the strongest option in Madrid. Families coming from UK schools will feel at home quickly.
King's La Moraleja sits at the more affordable end of the La Moraleja international school market, which is saying something in a suburb where fees at its neighbours run to EUR 25K-plus. The school covers ages 1 to 16 on the UK National Curriculum, with IGCSE as the finishing qualification. It does not offer A-Levels or IB on this campus - families planning to stay through to 18 will need to transfer, typically to the King's Soto de Vinuelas boarding campus nearby or another school for sixth form.
Academic results are genuinely strong. In 2025, 52% of all IGCSE grades were A*, and 73% A*-A - placing it as the top IGCSE performer in Spain according to the school's own published data. The school holds an Outstanding rating from BSO inspections across all categories. Class sizes are manageable, and the two-campus setup in La Moraleja means Early Years children move to the main campus at Year 3. Families describe the atmosphere as purposeful but warm, and new arrivals tend to settle quickly.
The practical limitation is the age ceiling at Year 11. If you are on a long posting or plan to stay until your child finishes secondary, you will need to plan the Year 12 transition early - demand for places at King's Soto and other sixth-form options in Madrid can be competitive. The school is part of the Inspired Education group, which brings global resources but also some of the group's standard administrative processes; a few families have noted the admissions experience can feel corporate.
What parents value
- –Top IGCSE results in Spain in 2025 - 52% A* and 73% A*-A. Outstanding BSO inspection rating across all categories for over 10 consecutive years.
- –Part of the Inspired Education group, giving students access to global camps, student exchanges and collaborative projects across 121+ premium schools worldwide.
- –Two-campus layout in La Moraleja: a dedicated Infant School for ages 1-7, then a main campus for Years 3-11. The separation works well for younger children.
Points of consideration
- –The school finishes at Year 11 (IGCSE). Families staying through sixth form will need to transfer to another school - plan this well before Year 9.
- –La Moraleja is a northern suburb of Madrid. If you live in central Madrid or south of the city, commute times to campus are worth checking against school bus routes before enrolling.
