Figures checked against the school’s own published source on 2 September 2026. School website.

How much of the week is taught in which language

There is no official figure for this school, and that is worth knowing. The Generalitat publishes a language split, stage by stage, for público and concertado schools, because they are inside the plurilingual programme. Private schools are outside it, so nobody is obliged to tell you how much of your child’s week will be in Valencian, in Spanish or in English — and the schools an English-speaking family looks at first are almost all private. Ask the school for its Plan Lingüístico de Centro, by stage, in writing. Centre 46021381.

What it costs

€760 to €995 a month, for 2026-27.

As everywhere in this area, the uniform is not published, and neither are exam fees. Ask for both before you budget: at a school in the city, add the bus question too, because a city campus changes how a family gets there.

The reason to choose it over the belt schools

Every other British school around Valencia is out in the western or northern belt, which means a school run of twenty to thirty minutes each way, twice a day, and a family that needs two cars.

This one is in the city. For a family that wants to live in Russafa or El Cabanyal rather than in a house with a plot in Bétera, that is the whole decision — and it is the only version of it where a teenager eventually gets themselves to school on the metro.

It runs from two campuses, which is worth asking about directly: which stages sit where, and whether a child changes site as they move up.

Living in the city, briefly

Valencia is also the easiest municipality in this area to register in: you can walk in without an appointment, and any of the offices that register will do — you are not tied to your district. But a North American family needs its documents apostilled and sworn-translated before it flies, and an Irish family only needs the translation.

Who it suits

A family that came for the city, not for the space, and wants the British curriculum without organising its week around a commute.

Who it does not

A family that wants a plot, a pool and a five-minute school run, or one that wants its children inside the Spanish system.

Does British School of Valencia have a place in your child’s year?

Places are allocated by year group, not by school, and no website answers that. It takes calling the admissions office about that exact year and getting the answer in writing. That is The Shortlist, €989.
