The British Council has signed an agreement to sell its school in Madrid, the British Council School (el Colegio Británico), to Inspired Education Group.
This transaction only affects the British Council School (Calle Solano 5-7, 28223, Pozuelo de Alarcón – Comunidad de Madrid). All other British Council centres -including the Somosaguas Centre, which is currently located within the British Council School premises- along with our English courses, exams, educational initiatives, and cultural programmes, will continue as usual.
The British Council remains fully committed to its mission in Spain. It will continue to:
- Deliver high-quality English language courses and certify language proficiency through Aptis ESOL and IELTS.
- Support bilingual and multilingual education in Spain.
- Accredit British schools for Spanish education authorities and ensuring excellence in international education.
- Enhance student mobility between Spain and the UK.
- Strengthen cultural and artistic collaborations between Spain and the UK, working closely with the British Embassy.
