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 is divided into Pre-Prep (Pre Nursery to Year 3), Prep (Years 4 to 8) and Senior School (Years 9 to 13).Academic levels are high at Runnymede College. In June 2026, 85% of our students achieved A*-B at A level, making Runnymede one of the highest-achieving schools in Spain. Once again, this figure is far above the 48% of 7-9 grades at GCSE obtained in the English independent (private) school sector.

In the graduating class of 2026, just over half of our pupils will be attending UK universities, 89% of them to Russell Group institutions. Five are starting at Ivy League universities, with others at Stanford, Boston College and Tufts. Any candidate should be willing to play an active role in the co-curricular life of the school.
