Holy Mary British Catholic School originated as a Nursery School in Madrid, founded by Marta and María Riva de Aldama. It was established to provide a British-style education rooted in Catholic values for families seeking this option for their children. Due to significant demand from parents, the school expanded and transitioned into a Primary School, and the Secondary School was launched in 2013 in response to further parental requests. Presently, we are the sole British Catholic School located in central Madrid, serving 700 students. We are proud members of NABSS, CISC, and ACADE.

Holy Mary British Catholic School plans to continue its measured expansion within the secondary section over the next two years. We are enthusiastically looking ahead to foster ongoing improvement and to deliver a creative and inclusive curriculum, supported by an exceptional team of educators and engaged students, along with a community of highly supportive parents.
