Science Teacher

Holy Mary British Catholic School started as a Nursery School 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 grow and provide education as a Primary School. Further pressure from parents resulted in the opening of the Secondary School in 2013. Our GCSE and A Level exam results can be viewed on our website, alongside a sample of the university destinations of our pupils. Currently, we are the only British Catholic school towards the centre of Madrid with approximately 640 students enrolled. We are committed members of NABSS, CISC and ACADE.

Holy Mary British Catholic School will continue its controlled expansion within the secondary section over the next 4 years. We look towards the future with an exciting drive for continued improvement, a creative and inclusive curriculum, and with a fantastic set of teachers, pupils, and parents.
