The Thames British School, located in Madrid, prides itself on providing pupils with the highest level of education, and a wide range of opportunities for personal development. Our students are prepared to face 21st century challenges, with skills, understanding and, ultimately, universally recognised certificates that open doors to the finest universities in the world. Our international community of ambitious, highly-qualified teachers, ensures a friendly, culturally tolerant atmosphere within modern, spacious classrooms. As a British school,  our educational provision is robust and thoughtful, in accordance with National Curriculum standards for England. Students at Thames British School acquire confidence in developing passions, uncovering latent talents, and overcoming challenges.

Our teachers constitute a highly experienced and educated cohort, a balanced mix of native  and fluent English speakers from around the world, allowing students to benefit from a rich fusion of cultural experience. Our staff have, as a minimum, postgraduate studies certificates and Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), the majority also having teaching experience gained in a British school, either in the UK or at international schools around the world who follow the British curriculum. Our talented, highly dedicated educators are child-centred in their approach to teaching and learning.

Our Mission

To provide a British Education of the highest quality by using a stimulating, safe and positive learning environment, with high expectations of achievement and behaviour. To provide and maintain an inclusive culture of learning where all children will be challenged in their thinking, to achieve to the best of their abilities and strive to become lifelong learners.
We will empower our pupils to become respected citizens to enable them to make valuable contributions locally, globally and to contribute to our world’s sustainable future.

Our Vision

We envisage an environment where children can build the knowledge and skills they will need in the 21st Century through encouraging them to critically evaluate their experiences within the globally respected curricula of the National Curriculum for England and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program. Our broad and balanced learning experiences are designed to encourage children to take risks and embrace challenges. We nurture academic and personal growth through empowering individuals to embrace opportunities to reach their full potential as independent thinkers and team players. Our multicultural family atmosphere celebrates diversity for the freedom it gives us to learn from each other.

Our Values

In our atmosphere of trust and safety, we encourage students to reflect and act with respect and confidence. We work toward building the whole person through a combination of academics and life skills.
