Kensington School was founded in 1966 by Edward Paul Giles as a means to provide British education to the international community in Barcelona. Almost sixty years later, the values and ethos of the school remain, despite the changes time and technology have required.

The school operates with three guiding principles: Academic excellence Small class sizes Personalised learning These are achieved through a committed and dedicated staff body, many of whom fulfil their teaching careers at Kensington. Staff retention rates are excellent and it is thanks to the lengthy service of Kensington teachers that these principles are achieved on a daily basis.

With only 260 students on roll, the school is very successful at treating every child as an individual and the teacher: student ratio allows for the school’s focus on ‘personalised learning’ to be very achievable.
