Welcombe to the forum, I am sure someone will be able to let you know but is that not somthing you should have researched more than a month before moving your children!

Hi Jo60

Not sure if you aware schools here close for the long summer vacations from 18th June and do not start the new academic year till 2nd week in September.

When you arrive next month - I would suggest your first port of call would be the Town Hall, they have a Education dept on the first floor - (they do speak a little English) - if you don't speak Spanish I suggest you have something written down in Spanish. That's how we started. So the process involves lots of paperwork and you will need lots of copies of same documents.

You will have to get application forms (which is a pack of forms) from the school and work to a timetable on when to submit documents. You will need NIE numbers and patrons, also copies their passports, birth certificates, their medical history (including list of jabs up to date), passport size photos for each of your children.

There are two schools in Rojales - primary and secondary

We registered our son in La Encanta school which is the secondary sch. They start from the age of 12 and till 18. I am not sure about primary school think its from 6-11.

Hope this helps.

There are English speaking schools in the area, but they are not cheap.
Phoenix International in San Miguel is probably the cheapest.
Your 12 year old may find Spanish school very difficult

El Limonar is about double the price of Phoenix.
€800-€1000 per month.
