Wavell Blades, Headteacher of Virtus College

A word from our Headteacher

Why Virtus? Hear it from the person who leads it.

In under a minute, Wavell explains why the last two years of school shape so much: the university, the career, even the person your child becomes. And why a Sixth Form should be chosen in person, not from a brochure. Wavell BladesHeadteacher, Virtus College

The evening

Two hours to really get to know us

Not a sales pitch. See the campus, understand the educational model, hear directly from students and the leadership team, meet the teachers and ask the questions that matter to you.

Who is it for?

For families making the decision

Whatever your child's current school or curriculum: British, IB or Spanish.

Year 10 · 3º ESO

Planning ahead

A Level subject choices shape degree options. It pays to know them a year early.

Year 11 · 4º ESO

Choosing a Sixth Form

See the A Level programme, meet the teachers and get clear answers on admissions.

Year 12 · Bachillerato

Rethinking the route

If the current programme isn't working, we'll explain the options and what a move would look like.

Is there a cost?

No. The Open Day is free, but you must register to attend: places are limited, and registration helps us organise the tour groups and the catering.

Should my child come too?

Yes, please. The Student Leadership Team speaks directly to prospective students, and meeting the teachers is the best way for them to decide for themselves whether Virtus suits them.

My child is in the Spanish system. Can they join Virtus?

Yes. We welcome students finishing 4º ESO, IGCSE or MYP. At the Open Day we'll explain the transition and the admissions process.

Can several family members come?

Yes. One registration per family is enough.

We can't make that day. Is there another option?

Yes. We arrange individual visits on other days. Call or WhatsApp Rocío Castro, Head of Admissions, on +34 695 634 546.
