PE 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 provide education as a primary school. Further pressure from parents resulted in the opening of the secondary school. Our IGCSE and A level results, and the accompanying university destinations of our pupils can be viewed on our website. Currently, we are the only British Catholic School towards the centre of Madrid with approximately 700 students enrolled.

We are committed members of NABSS, CISC and ACADE.

Holy Mary British Catholic School will continue its controlled growth over the next 2 years, with a determined drive to achieve continuous school improvement, and a creative and inclusive curriculum. We have a fantastic set of teachers and pupils, and highly supportive parents.
