Hi my family of 5 children my wife and myself are looking to move to Spain next year but buying this year .

We will be buying in Spain this year hopefully ! I have been looking at Pinoso and was hoping to get some help regarding schools ? I have twins that will be 8 plus 2 other Daughters that will be 11 and 13 and then my Son who will be 16 he would like to go to an international school but the others would like to integrate ! can anyone shed some light on the nearest international school and also some information regarding the other local schools please.

with thanks Jeff

The nearest International schools are Elche, Alicante and Orihuela Costa, approx 45-60 mins away. This article gives some views on different peoples experiences of education in Pinoso for Brits. https://britishexpats.com/forum/spain-75/pinoso-668801/page2/

Although I cannot help regarding schools or Pinoso can I suggest that you have a look at the Citizens Advice Bureau Spain site for answers to some of the queries that you will have. Also, Jim’s Guides on this page may help.

Hi Jeff, Mandy, her daughter (15) and I have just moved to Spain and will get the keys to our villa on 1st July. We are in Pinoso now in our agents flat until we sign for the property. In our case, we have decided to home school Mandy's daughter using the Oxford Home Schooling IGCSE courses with online tutors. Her exams will be taken next summer either here in Spain or back in the UK. For us, this made the most sense at her age and circumstances and whilst she is learning Spanish too, it removed the pressure of school integration at this late stage. We have found the advice and service of the OHS excellent and Mandy's daughter has her assessment by her tutors this week ahead of starting her studies fully in September.

Regards Paul and Mandy
