Runnymede College is a private non-denominational British school in Madrid offering a British education to boys and girls of all nationalities from the age of two to eighteen. The education offered follows the British National Curriculum.

Founded as a private school in September 1967, the primary school was inaugurated in 1987, and since 1990, the whole School has been located in La Moraleja, in the north of Madrid. The School has been restructured and divided into Pre-Prep, Prep (Years 4 to 8) and Senior School (Years 9 to 13).

Academic levels are high at Runnymede College. In June 2024, 64% of our students achieved A-A* at A level, with 98% of grades being A*-C. This is particularly impressive when compared with the 49% of A*-A grades achieved at independent (private) schools in England this year. In addition, 70% of our pupils gained A*-A grades at IGCSE. Once again, this is a truly excellent achievement when compared with the 60% of A*- A grades at GCSE obtained in the English independent (private) school sector.

In the graduating class of 2024, Top-ranking UK universities welcoming this year’s graduates include St Andrews, Imperial, UCL, LSE, Edinburgh and Bath. Students in the US have already started their higher education at Harvard, Columbia, Stanford, NYU, UPenn and Cornell, amongst other excellent colleges.

A number of our students will be staying in Spain, at top-notch places including ICADE, IE and Navarra; others will continue their education elsewhere in Europe in world-leading institutions in France, Italy and the Netherlands. 3 of our students will be taking a gap year to continue their sporting achievements in golf, football and rowing.

Join a rewarding and exciting learning environment, both within and beyond the classroom. Any candidate should be willing to play an active role in the co-curricular life of the school.
