Brighton College Madrid has been featured in EL ESPAÑOL in an article by Daniel Nieva, highlighting the planned arrival of the renowned British school in Madrid and its selective admissions process.

The article reports that Brighton College Madrid will open in September 2027 in Madrid’s Moncloa-Aravaca district, on Calle Gobelas. The new school is expected to welcome around 900 pupils aged 3 to 18, joining the 9,000 students already attending Brighton College schools around the world.

The Madrid school will be led by George Hartley, who has more than 16 years of experience directing schools in the UK. The article highlights Brighton College’s focus on academic excellence, creativity, wellbeing and personal development, alongside an educational approach designed to encourage curiosity, confidence and kindness.

A key feature of the new school will be its careful and selective admissions process, modelled on the approach used at Brighton College in Sussex. The article also reports that students will take examinations and make handwritten notes, reflecting the school’s approach to technology and learning.
