Queries regarding any other matters must , by necessity, be addressed to the individual schools. Parents must be aware that all British schools in Spain are privately owned and , as such, have independent responsibility for their own internal matters. When a serious query about a school arises a monitoring committee, comprising senior members of the Nabss Inspectorate and the British Council can be contacted, in writing, via the British Council in Madrid. However given the seniority of the body it is advisable to consider seriously entering into correspondence and most matters are best dealt with locally.

When considering a move to Spain, Nabss advises parents and teachers to first research thoroughly the various factors implied in the move. Spanish law, National Health and Social Security arrangements, Pension rights and contractual procedures all differ completely to those encountered in the UK and, when one transfers to a school in Spain it must be remembered that one is transferring into the private sector. While there are many benefits to be had and Spain has a great deal to offer, any move should only be effected after considerable preparation and thought.

Parents and teachers considering relocation can trust Nabss´ schools to be bona fide British schools, in that they offer an education which follows the best tenets of British government guidelines; appointing only fully qualified teachers and following the British National Curriculum, facilitating easy transfer between Spain and the UK. Each have their own unique qualities and offer a wide selection of educational environments to cater for the preferences of everyone. Wherever Possible parents and teachers should visit the various areas and schools in person so that all their queries can be answered and they can compare the qualities each school has to offer; thus making a smooth and well organised start to their new life in Spain.

Most Nabss´schools are heavily oversubscribed; therefore parents are advised to request places well in advance of their intended arrival.
