About Hastings School

With multiple campuses in the north of the city, it offers the full British curriculum in an urban setting — meaning most students walk or take the metro.

Insider Note — 2026

Hastings is the best option if you're living inside the M-30 and want a British school. The urban location is a genuine advantage — children gain independence and parents avoid the school run. The Paseo de la Habana campus is the main secondary site.
