Primary Teacher

Holy Mary British Catholic School started as a Nursery School here in Madrid through the vision of its founders, Marta and María Riva de Aldama. It was opened to cater for parents who wished their children to have a British style education based on Catholic values. It expanded due to great demand from parents and continued to provide education as a Primary School. Further pressure from parents resulted in the opening of the Secondary School with the first phase opening in 2013. Currently, we are the only British Catholic School towards the centre of Madrid with around 630 students enrolled from Nursery to Year 13. We are a committed member of NABSS, CISC and ACADE.
