Entry evaluation for students

Trial day and entry assessment for primary and Interview and entry assessment for Secondary and Sixth Form. Entry into Sixth Form is dependent on results of assessments taken in the previous academic year.

Brief description of entry evaluation required

Students who are five years and older should have some previous knowledge of English and they will have a trial day and entrance assessments.

Students who are 11 years or older should have a working knowledge of English and they have a personal interview and entry exam.
Entrance assessments are cognitive ability tests so are not based around a set curriculum. There is also a written English proficiency test. For students who are unable to reach the levels expected in the English proficiency tests and/or interview, we offer an Intensive English Support programme to access the school. In this case, students receive several hours of English support each day, depending on the need, until they are assessed to have a level of proficiency meaning they can access the curriculum in English.

No deadline

Students can join after academic year begins

We understand that families can be transferred at any time of the year so we do accept children during the school year. However, each case will be studied on an individual basis.

Qualities and characteristics best defining the school

St George Madrid is a private International British school, located in Madrid, with classes from 2 to 18 years old. We have students from more than 45 different nationalities who, from the first day, learn English with native teachers. For us, the most important thing is that each child reaches their own maximum potential and aims excellence so that they have all the tools they need to excel in the future.

Teaching approach of the school

The students follow the English National Curriculum as if they were in a school in the U.K. We follow all the key principles of a British education, whilst taking advantage of the environment and culture around us.
The last two years we offer the International Baccalaureate (IB) program, in English. This multicultural atmosphere makes every student’s education unique as they also study the compulsory subjects of Spanish Lengua and Sociales on a daily basis. Due to the pathways we offer, our students can choose to further their studies overseas or remain in Spain.
