Kings College Murcia: British school in La Torre Golf Resort

King’s College’s mission statement is to provide high quality British education while remaining at the forefront of British education internationally. To deliver a transformative learning experience to all pupils, King’s College relies on engaging and effective teaching based on their core values and the best, most up-to-date UK educational practices.

Why choose King’s College, the British school of Murcia?

Choosing the right school for your child is immensely important, and a significant decision for any parent. We all want our children to be nourished and nurtured in a secure environment from the moment they start their formal education up to the day they graduate. King’s College Murcia has a proven history of educational excellence based on firmly embedded British values, devotion for learning and pride in its international learning environment.

King’s College Murcia has been rated as ‘Outstanding’ in every category in the latest inspection by PENTA International and is also the only school in the Region of Murcia that is regularly inspected by an external inspectorate approved by the association for British Schools Overseas (BSO). “We are now the only ‘Outstanding’ school in the area and, in fact, in the Region of Murcia,” says Dawn Akyurek, Headteacher.

They have unsurpassed university entry through their International Baccalaureate (IB) and ‘Especifica’ results, and their students regularly achieve places to study at prestigious public and private universities in Spain, the UK and across Europe and the wider world.

Teaching methodology at King’s College

The school subscribes to the High Performance Learning (HPL) methodology, a pedagogy that ensures teachers instill thinking skills and a growth mindset in students, supporting young people to cultivate an ambitious future that can help sculpt the 21st century. They emphasise the importance of educating the whole child, paying special attention to their physical, emotional and social development.

The ethos of HPL mirrors the school’s own belief in developing each child’s individual values and skills, rather than relying on a broad approach across a whole class or entire year.
