The worst ‘school’ imaginable. Children don’t even make it on to the priority list. Broken promise after broken promise. We were sold by being told it was a small school with a family environment for my child. We didn’t favor the idea of the larger schools. It could not be farther from the truth, it’s cold and gray. They have terrible facilities, especially in high school, we did notice this when we viewed but again were sold lies about improvements that were imminent. They don’t seem to be able to keep teachers for any duration. We saw many different teachers for the same subject in a matter of weeks, they all seemed to walk out. Management is non existent and when it is seen is horribly hostile. Avoid this place if you can.

Poor management, many broken promises. High turnover of both students and teachers with many leaving after a year of being at this school. They delete any bad reviews they get on google as well as having their own children write good reviews. Overall not a good school mostly because the owners do not actually care about your child’s education when it is actually needed. Go elsewhere.

Without a doubt the worst school I have ever seen in my professional career. Owners sole priority is to make as much money as possible, no regard for children’s well-being or education. Most of the teachers that are in long term positions have no integrity for the job and have zero care for the children.

Mis dos hijas estuvieron en la escuela, las tuvimos que cambiar a medio curso, falta de profesorado por falta de alumnos, no tenían las homologaciones al día, mal trato parte de la directora, pocos recuersos , escuela inacabada y lo mas importante enseñada muy precaria en los cursos superiores.

Be careful of this school, they are completely fake - the owners have tried to pretend to be a 'posh' English school purely so the local Spanish population think it's exclusive. Every element is aimed to attract that market, even having giant 'PRIVATE SCHOOL' signs out the front. It's why it is mainly locals that use the school, it's not an international school. Thank goodness we moved our children to a proper international school 200 metres up the road!

My experience is good. I have two kids in the school and I am very happy. Many parents, from what I have heard thought it was going to be a more elitist school. But it is not. Kids learn, they are happy, above uk level of Maths, and a caring and committed team. I would prefer no uniform, but the school is what I dreamt of for my kids

Un espacio moderno, agradable, con medios técnicos y humanos destacables para la actividad docente. Más allá del proyecto educativo que considero eficaz y motivador, destacaría la atención personalizada a cada alumno. No está masificado en absoluto, el ratio por clase es bajo y esto repercute en una mayor calidad de aprendizaje. Todo el profesorado, incluso la dirección, conoce perfectamente a cada alumno. Esa cercanía y compromiso es difícil de encontrar habitualmente. Hace 5 años que iniciamos el primer contacto con Richmond, con la escolarización de mi hija mayor, más alla de alguna imprecisión administrativa o de organización y sabiendo que ninguna institución es perfecta, recomiendo abiertamente que forme parte de la selección de posibles centros para la educación de tus hijos. Honestamente, pienso es una buena decisión incluir una visita al centro antes de tomar una decisión.

The promises made by the school differ a lot from reality. Managment is incapable and unorganised. They are simply not qualified to run school. School facilities are still incomplete and due to lack of investment and not enought students, there has been a draw back in education.
