Double Bac
The Dallington College Double Bac is the programme we have chosen at Dallington School for our Year 12 and Year 13 students. It is an exceptional educational option which combines flexibility and rigour. Its structure allows students to choose the subjects that best align with their interests and talents, giving them the opportunity to focus on what they really like, what they are good at, and, consequently, allowing them to obtain the best results for their access to the university of their choice, both in Spain and abroad.
KEY STAGE 5- HYBRID PROGRAMME A-LEVELS/EVAU PRUEBA ESPECÍFICA
With a double degree, British and Spanish, they will not only be guaranteed a solid academic training, but also a close and personalised accompaniment that will guide them on the best path to their future.
With the support of our team, of whom we feel deeply proud as they are a model of our values and the excellence that characterises us, we will continue to help and accompany them so that they become people of integrity, curious, creative and prepared to face the challenges of the future.
A-levels
Dallington School is accredited by the University of Cambridge to develop its rigorous and demanding syllabus, and for its students to take their Advanced Levels (A-Levels).
The A-Levels in Spain are recognised, their validation is straightforward and allow access to Spanish universities. Thanks to the agreement signed between Spain and the United Kingdom in 2023, students who take A-Levels can access Spanish universities without having to take the PAU (formerly known as Selectividad). The average mark obtained in the 3 or 4 A-Levels subjects is validated with the general PAU exam (up to a mark of 10).
PCE
Like any student in the Spanish Baccalaureate, those students who want to enter a public university, or a high-demand degree, with a cut-off mark above 10, have to sit the Prueba de competencia específica (PCE).
At The Dallington College, we prepare our students, in addition to the A-Levels, for the PCE which allows them to obtain up to 4 additional points.
In this way, we guarantee, with our Double Bac (A-Levels + PCE), that our students can access any public or private university, both in Spain and abroad.

Advantages of our programme
RECOGNITION
Dallington School is an official centre authorised by the University of Cambridge. Its Baccalaureate programme, Cambridge International A-Levels, is one of the most recognised and valued qualifications for university entrance, both in Spain and internationally.
Flexibility
Unlike the Spanish system, which is rigid in both the general test and the specific test, our Double Bac programme is flexible. It allows students to choose the 3 or 4 subjects they are best at. This helps them to obtain a better grade in their A-Levels and therefore a better university entrance mark.
Rigour and depth
The Cambridge International A Levels programme we prepare offers an in-depth and specialised approach to your chosen subjects. Students develop key academic skills such as analytical thinking, research and problem solving. These skills are highly valued by universities as they prepare students for the academic challenges they will face in their university studies.
Guaranteed success in accessing university
A-Levels students have for decades successfully gained access not only to universities in the UK, but also to the best Spanish universities, both public and private. It is a solid, rigorous and annually inspected programme.
- Talent
TEEN CAREER PROGRAMME
The Dallington College offers a unique orientation programme that will guide our students to get to know themselves, identify their strengths and weaknesses, their interests, as well as to analyse the study and career options that exist and that best suit their interests and talents. The aim is to help them discover and develop their potential, which will help them choose their career.
Our team will provide the necessary support and follow-up for the admission and application process for university scholarships both in Spain and abroad.
