Education in Spain - State schools
Registering
for a state
school in
Spain
When you
arrive in
Spain you may
be looking to
register your
children into
a Spanish
state school.
This can be a
complex
process but
once you
accept the
Spanish way of
doing things,
you should be
fine. These
instructions
were given to
us by an
English
resident who
moved to
Fuengirola and
placed his two
children in
the local
school.
-
The first
visit was to
the Culture
House where
a form was
collected in
order to
register the
children.
Take with
you, your
passport,
the child's
passport and
proof of
where you
are living
(such as a
rental
contract).
-
Take your
completed
form to the
Town Hall,
Estadistica
Office. The
fees were
2.10 euros
per child.
-
Return to
the Town
Hall the
next day to
collect the
forms which
have now
been
stamped.
-
Take the
forms back
to the
Culture
House where
they keep
the forms
and give you
a list of
your nearest
schools.
-
You apply
for a place
at your
nearest
school and
when you go
to the
school it
will pay you
to take a
translator.
