Primary Education for Children Aged 5–11 in Xàbia, Alicante

Welcome to our Primary School

As soon as you visit XIC you will feel the welcoming atmosphere, created by happy children and staff. In Primary, children and parents quickly become part of our XIC family, the core of our ethos.

Your child spends much of their week with us, so it is vital they feel safe, secure and cared for. We believe educating and nurturing go hand in hand.

With small class sizes we get to know your child very well. We discover their strengths to extend them and support areas where they lack confidence, allowing them to express themselves and achieve great things.

With a dedicated staff, we ask your child to ‘reach for the sky’ every day. Happy children learn, amaze you with achievements and enthusiasm.

Every child can explore their interests, whether in academia, sport, art or music.

Education is a partnership between school, parent and child, at the heart of XIC.

Key Stage 1 (KS1)

At XIC, Key Stage 1 provides a warm and inspiring start to your child’s school journey.

We follow the British National Curriculum, planning lessons around engaging topics that spark curiosity and creativity. Our small classes allow teachers to know every child personally, discovering their strengths and supporting areas where they need confidence.

Core subjects such as English, Maths, and Science are complemented by Spanish lessons with native teachers, ensuring children become familiar with the language and culture of their environment.

We place great emphasis on hands-on learning, from mapping skills and weather studies to exploring local wildlife and plant life.

ICT, creative arts, music, and sports are integral parts of the curriculum. Our aim is simple: happy, curious children who love learning and develop the confidence to achieve their potential.

Key Stage 2 (KS2)

In Key Stage 2, children build on the strong foundations developed in KS1 while becoming increasingly independent learners.

Our curriculum remains firmly rooted in the British National Curriculum, enhanced by creative teaching and cross-curricular projects. English, Maths, and Science remain central, with a focus on deeper understanding and critical thinking.

Spanish language skills continue to develop, with lessons that immerse students in both language and culture.

Children also explore a range of stimulating topics in humanities, computing, art, drama, and physical education.

Technology is integrated across subjects, encouraging problem-solving and innovation. KS2 also nurtures personal growth, teamwork, and resilience through projects, sports activities, and our vibrant after-school program.

Regular assessments and parent-teacher meetings ensure families are fully involved in every step of their child’s progress. By the end of KS2, our students are confident, well-rounded, and ready for the challenges of secondary school.

After teaching for several years in the UK, I became part of the XIC family in 2010 and have had the joy of watching our school grow and evolve, most recently moving into our beautiful new premises.

Yet, through all the changes, the heart of our lovely school has remained the same, beating to the strong rhythm of our children, staff, and families.

It is a true privilege to take on the role of Head Teacher, keeping our children’s happiness and wellbeing at the centre of their learning journeys. I deeply value the beauty and diversity of our international community and that of our families, welcome to our happy place.
