Numont School is one of the longest running British schools in Madrid, founded in 1962 and now part of the wider market mapped on our Madrid city hub. It is a primary school teaching the English national curriculum to children from age 2 to 12, with native English speaking staff, and it sits in the mid fee band for the city. Because it stops at the end of primary, the decision to choose Numont is also a decision about where a child will go for secondary, which we cover below.
This profile is an independent reference page. GlobalSchoolGuide does not rank schools for payment and no school appears here because it paid to. We researched the facts below from the school and public sources at the time of writing and flag anything we could not confirm as not published.
At a glance
Curriculum and academics
Numont teaches the English national curriculum through the early years and primary stages, delivered by native English speaking staff who hold British teaching qualifications. Spanish language and the subjects required of schools in Spain are taught alongside the English programme, so children leave bilingual and able to continue in either system. The school is small by Madrid standards, which it presents as a strength for the close attention it can give younger children.
Because the school ends at the close of primary, families need a secondary plan from the outset. Numont has long held an arrangement with a partner secondary school to ease that transfer, so pupils have a route onward rather than starting an open search at age 11. Parents weighing the British primary route can read our British curriculum guide to see how the early years, key stages and the later GCSE and A level years fit together before deciding.

Numont School fees
Numont does not publish a full fee schedule online and asks families to contact the school directly for current figures. Set against our Madrid international school fees guide, a British primary of this size typically sits in the mid band, below the premium all through British and American day schools that run to the senior years. Treat the band as a guide and confirm the exact tuition with the school.
Whatever the headline tuition, budget for the usual extras: a registration or enrolment fee, the canteen, uniform, trips and any optional after school activities. Because the school is primary only, also factor the separate fees of the secondary school you plan to move to at age 11 or 12. Use our fee calculator to model the full cost across both stages rather than the primary tuition alone.
Admissions
Numont accepts applications for a September start, with early years and reception places the first to fill. The school typically asks for recent reports for older applicants and may invite the family to visit so the fit can be judged on both sides. Families planning a move are advised to apply in the spring before the academic year to secure a place in the smaller year groups.
Mid year entry is reviewed subject to space, which suits families relocating to northeast Madrid outside the usual cycle. Anyone arriving during the school year should contact the school directly to check availability in their child's year group.
Location and who goes there
The school occupies a long established site in northeast Madrid in the San Blas district, a residential part of the city well connected to the centre and the airport corridor. The setting is urban rather than the green suburban campuses of the western belt, which suits families based on the eastern side of the city who want a British primary within a manageable commute.
The intake is mixed, with a majority of Spanish speaking families who want an English medium primary education alongside international families from many nationalities. For the wider landscape of who settles where, and the full spread of schools across the capital, see the Madrid city hub.
