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.
The school is owned and operated by the Kingdom of Spain and follows Spanish governance arrangements; the chief executive officer is the Spanish Embassy Education Attaché, and there is no UK-style board of trustees. Educational decisions are made by the Teaching and Learning Committee (Comisión de Coordinación Pedagógica). A School Advisory Board (Consejo Escolar) meets four times a year and includes leadership, teaching staff, parents and pupils; there is also a School Council with class representatives that meet at least once every half term to share views and make suggestions to the Deputy Heads. The Parents Association collaborates with the school in various activities.

Instituto Español Vicente Cañada Blanch is a public international school in London affiliated with Spain and governed by the Embassy Educational Attache. It serves students aged 3 to 18, offering a Bespoke Curriculum alongside the British Curriculum and the Early Years Foundation Stage. A distinctive feature is the Linguistic Project, a cross‑curricular framework that develops communicative competence and plurilingualism across all subjects and levels, guiding didactic-methodological and organizational practice as part of the Centre Project. The campus at 317 Portobello Road provides classrooms, a dedicated library, a laboratory, eight desdoble classrooms, and two ICT rooms that house desktops, laptops and tablets. On-site spaces include a staff room, reception, and offices for the director and head of studies, plus a dining hall with external catering and a packed-lunch option. Morning care is available, and a broad programme of after-school activities and language clubs complements academic study, supported by AMPA involvement throughout.
