British School Madrid

When we were looking for a school for our daughter five years ago, we were quite clear that the
first option we would rule out would be an impersonal, soulless school where the human touch is
missing.

And from the very first moment in Dallington, it was love at first sight.

It was his teaching style and the content—which goes beyond the curriculum and is what truly shapes people—that finally won us over.

Overcoming the fear of public speaking, learning through practice, standing up for one’s own ideas, respecting those of others… These are some of the ‘hidden’ skills that are almost indispensable in today’s world.

For us, talking about Dallington today means talking about family.

Last year, our son had quite a negative experience at his previous nursery and as you are probably very much aware, and we found it so difficult leaving him. Now every day we collect him, he is happy (sometimes not wanting to leave) and he is eating, which for us is such a huge positive step. We cannot thank you enough. My husband and I talk about it all the time how fantastic the nursery has been for our son, how he is improving in his communication and interactions with others.

I think sometimes we forget to find the opportunity to really show our gratitude and appreciation we have as parents for our son.

As parents of three children, we want the best possible education for them, and we consider the academic side to be just as important as the emotional side.

Dallington achieves excellence in teaching through its teaching staff and by applying the British system, offering a personalised education designed to help each of our children reach their full potential.

Furthermore, it instils strong, fundamental values in our family, such as respect, good behaviour, politeness, independence, solidarity, kindness and self-confidence.

All this in a loving atmosphere, surrounded by green spaces and with healthy, 100% organic food.

The result of all this is that our children are happy.

I would recommend Dallington to any family without hesitation.

One of the hardest decisions you face when you have children is choosing which school you want them to attend, and one of the greatest sources of peace of mind comes from knowing you’ve made the right choice. That’s exactly how we feel at Dallington School, where we’ve found the education we were looking for and the values we want to instil in them.

At Dallington, every child and every family is special, and that’s exactly how they make you feel; they’re always attentive to any needs, and they even anticipate any problems the children might have – and this applies to the whole team, not just their immediate teachers.

Our children are still young, but we can already see how they’re starting to speak English fluently, how they’re learning, and best of all, how much they enjoy doing it. Above all, they’re HAPPY and go to school feeling confident and cheerful.

Everything seems so easy when you know you've made the right choice!

"We chose a new school and couldn’t be happier. Our children love going to school! The best thing is their commitment – it’s not just about academics; they nurture the children, teach them to think for themselves, and build on their strengths, helping them to grow into confident young people. Communication with parents is open and honest, and the support from the teachers and management is constant.

‘Our experience at the school has been thoroughly positive. On the one hand, we see how teaching methods and learning activities are adapted to the modern world. On the other hand, we feel that the school’s priority is always the child’s personal development. As a result, our daughters are happy to go to school and are learning in English at a friendly British school, which was one of our main priorities.’
