What this is
Moving to Spain with children involves more than just the adults' paperwork. Schools, language, friendships, routine disruption and the emotional experience all matter.
We help you understand Spanish school options, map UK to Spanish year groups, time the transition well, and prepare for the practical realities of a bilingual household in Spain.
This is not educational advice and we do not guarantee school placements. We explain the system, map your situation, and flag when specialist help is needed.
What you receive
- School type overview (publica, concertada, privada, international) with honest pros and cons
- Year group mapping: where your child fits in the Spanish system
- School registration timing and documents
- Language transition realities (integration vs maintenance of English)
- Children in exam years: warnings about GCSE/A-Level disruption
- SEN (Special Educational Needs) flagging — when specialist advice is essential
- Family timeline: when to tell children, when to visit, when to register
- Professional referral prompts (education consultant, family lawyer, SEN specialist)
- One written Family Move Planning Pack delivered by email
- One bounded follow-up round within 7 days
What is not included

- Families with children aged 4–16 planning a move to Spain

Who this is not for

Common questions
What school should my child go to?
We explain the types and help you assess what fits your family's priorities. The final decision is yours, informed by our structured overview.
Will my child lose their English?
Not if you maintain English at home and choose your school type carefully. We discuss integration vs maintenance strategies.
What if my child is in GCSE/A-Level years?
This is a red flag. Exam disruption is real and should be planned around. We flag the timing issues and suggest strategies (some families delay the move, others transfer to international schools, others homeschool for a period). Specialist educational advice is often needed.
Do you help with university applications?
No — this service covers school transition only. University applications are a different system and outside our scope.
