It’s just around one to two weeks now before most kids in Spain will be back in schools, but to make matters confusing the exact date they go back will depend on where you live in the country.
What’s even more confusing is that the dates change further depending on what level your child is in, whether it’s primary, secondary or is even studying for their Bachillerato (equivalent of A-Levels).
To help keep you organised, here are the dates for the 2024/25 school year.
