What a fantastic week in Madrid!
Posted on: 12/11/2026Our students from Barton Court and Barton Manor represented both schools brilliantly throughout the exchange, and should be incredibly proud of themselves. Spending a week living with Spanish host families was a wonderful opportunity to develop independence, confidence and cultural understanding.
During the week we visited Madrid, Segovia and El Escorial, attended a range of educational workshops, and experienced Spanish life firsthand. We were fortunate to enjoy plenty of sunshine, although we also had a little rain along the way!
The students embraced every opportunity, demonstrated excellent behaviour throughout and were outstanding ambassadors for our schools. Thank you to our Spanish partners and host families for making the experience so memorable.
¡Hasta la próxima!
