Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
1. Initial enquiry: Parents will be asked to provide information by telephone or in person about the child´s birth date and the assumed starting date.
2. School visit: On receipt of this information, parents will be invited to visit the School, preferably with their child/children.
3. Application: Following the visit parents may be invited to make a formal application for the enrolment of their child/children. The application is made as follows:
• Completion and signature of the application form.
• Provision of copies of school reports for each child covering the previous year of education (where relevant).
4. Assessment: Each applicant will be assessed in order to create an appropriate and individualized program of study.
5. Parents will be asked to attend a short formal meeting with the Head or Deputy Head of Primary once relevant assessments and (where necessary) trial days have been undertaken. Any specific conditions attached to the offer of a place will be discussed.
6. Offer of a place: Following receipt of the assessment results and school reports the school will decide whether a place is to be offered. The Head of Primary will inform parents of the outcome of the assessment and the interview and make clear any specific conditions attached to the offer of a place. Maxwell School has rolling admissions which means we accept applications and make offers on an ongoing basis throughout the academic year.
Maxwell School is a British international school in Madrid serving ages 3 to 16. The curriculum combines the UK Early Years Foundation Stage with the International Primary Curriculum, International Middle Years Curriculum and Cambridge IGCSE, ensuring continuity from early childhood through secondary assessment while aligning with the Spanish Ministry of Education (homologation) requirements. The school operates across two Madrid campuses—the Serrano building in Barrio de Salamanca and a nearby El Viso campus—both within easy reach of public transport, in urban, culturally rich surroundings. Instruction is delivered in English with bilingual elements in French and Spanish, supporting multilingual development. Class sizes are small to support individualized learning, backed by a strong teacher–student ratio and a multidisciplinary team addressing academic, emotional and social needs. A distinctive feature is the Arrowsmith cognitive intervention piloting program, alongside STEAM‑enabled IMYC art projects and a broad after‑school clubs program. The school fosters global citizenship and growth.
