Qualities and characteristics best defining the school

Kensington School is one of the oldest British curriculum schools in the whole of Spain, being founded in 1966, and the values and ethos have changed little in almost fifty years. Kensington School follows a ‘pure’ British curriculum and is able to dedicate all of its curriculum time to subjects within the National Curriculum for England and Wales. Kensington remains very much a family run school, with the founder´s sons – all of whom were educated at Kensington – now ensuring it continues to thrive as a happy, purposeful and dynamic community.
