Sorry but I have no knowledge about schools.   However, there are restrictions as to income, health cover and visa requirements prior to leaving the UK, and I would suggest that you have a look at the Citizens Advice Bureau Spain website for information about these plus other items.   Also, have a look at the N332 website regarding driving in Spain - this site is run in collaboration with officers of the Guardia Civil for English speaking people.   They also have a Facebook page which has kept us informed regarding rules and regulations in respect of the virus since March 2020.

Thank you for your reply, I have family in Spain who are Spanish citizens. And I know all the everything there is to know regarding your message. I just don’t know anyone who has children out in Spain and was just hoping for some recommendations on good Spanish schools. But thank you any way

Hi Steff11, You have not really stated where in Costa Blanca you want to move to.  In any case it does not really matter where you move to. You will have to support your children at home by ensuring that they do their home work and small scale school research studies  which is usually fun activities with the kids. 

Your six year old will speak the language sooner than your think because of age and through Play group. The school I know in Playa flamenca Provide Spanish lessons for non Spanish speaking children.

The academic success of your children in any school be it in U.K., America, Germany or Spain depends on the support you the Parents give the children at home.

If you are going to spend more time working to Put food on the table or lounging in the sun enjoying good Spanish life, then your children’s education will suffer. Strike a good balance, they will do very well.

Joe
