School Policy Documents
At Hastings School, one of the foremost schools in Madrid, Spain, the safety and well-being of our children is our first priority. We are committed to ensuring their safety as well as their physical and emotional wellbeing. We also believe that parents need to be confident that the school provides a safe and secure environment for their children. Additionally, the staff should feel that the school is a safe place in which to work.
To this end we take proactive measures to protect the safety and security of all our students, parents and staff members. We follow a series of policies and guidelines that are designed to ensure that the protection of all our pupils is consistent with the values, principles and procedures which prevail in our daily interactions with them.
A variety of approaches have been envisaged in order to implement effective security and protection policies throughout the school.

Hastings' Inspection Reports
Hastings is a non-selective school and we are proud of our established reputation for high academic standards. This is a voluntary inspection scheme for British schools overseas. This ensures every school provides their pupils with the skills and qualifications they need to enter or re-enter the British education system. This helps to inform parents of how the standards in these schools measure up against the standards that apply to independent schools in England.
The inspectorates are approved by the Department for Education of the UK and monitored by Ofsted (the Office for standards in education). Read more about the standards for inspectorates.
The School Inspection Service report states that our ‘Primary school develops pupils’ competence in English very well and the fruits of this are evident throughout the school. From the youngest classes upwards, pupils’ personal and social development is fostered extremely well.
Please find a copy of our latest inspection report below and the highlights from the report:
NABSS Inspection 2019
“Hastings School provides a high quality British education for its pre-nursery class. The site provides welcoming and safe surroundings for both children and staff. Facilities are good and resources are adequate to implement the E.Y.F.S. curriculum. Warm relationships are fostered with the children who make good progress in a caring environment.”
NABSS Inspection 2018
“This is an outstanding school in most respects. It has many strengths and the school has identified areas for development. It has a powerful capacity to maintain excellence as the leaders and managers monitor, evaluate and improve so well, and they have a positive impact on the teaching and learning throughout.”
NABSS Inspection 2017
“En general, la calidad de la enseñanza y el aprendizaje es sobresaliente. Uno de los puntos fuertes del colegio es la actitud altamente positiva de todos los alumnos y su respuesta ante sus profesores y los desafíos que les presentan. Esto tiene un impacto en el aprendizaje”.
