Hastings School Holds Early Years Open Event at Sobradiel on 21 November

MADRID, 20 October 2026. Hastings School, the British international school in the centre of Madrid, will hold an Early Years open event at its Sobradiel campus on Saturday 21 November, from 11:00 to 14:00, for families of children starting school.

The Sobradiel campus is home to the school's Early Years and Primary sections, for children aged 2 to 11. The open event is designed for families who are weighing up where their youngest children should start school, and it gives them the chance to see the campus and its classrooms in person.

At its open days, the school's leadership team gives a short talk on Hastings' core values and educational approach. Families then hear about the main features of the curriculum and what the school can offer their child, and they can talk through the admissions process with a member of the admissions team, who will answer their questions.

The 21 November event is one of three open events that Hastings School has planned for November. On Tuesday 17 November, from 17:30 to 19:00, the Nexus open evening at Manuel Marañón 8 is aimed at Sixth Form students and their families. On Monday 23 November, from 9:30 to 11:00, the Early Years campus on Paseo de la Habana will also open its doors.
