Hastings School is owned by Cognita Educational Group since 2010.
Hastings School offers a British education in the heart of Madrid, operating across six specialized campuses that cater to specific developmental stages. The Paseo de la Habana campus serves as a dedicated Early Years center, providing a secure environment for children aged 2 to 5. Following the English National Curriculum, the school transitions students from the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) through to IGCSEs, A Levels, and the International Baccalaureate Diploma. A defining feature of the school is the "Nexus" Sixth Form campus, which provides a pre-university environment designed to bridge the gap between secondary school and higher education. This campus includes specialized science laboratories and an art studio to support advanced practical work. Additionally, Hastings is recognized for its "British-Spanish Dual Validation," allowing students to meet Spanish university entrance requirements (PCEs) while pursuing international qualifications. This dual focus ensures that graduates are prepared for domestic and international university pathways.
