Admissions and enrolment
How to apply for an Infantil or Primary place, explained for families who have just arrived.
The March 2026 admissions window has closed. If you arrive late or part-way through the year, ask at the school office.
The way in, in four steps
Gather the papers
The application form (Annex III in March, Annex IX the rest of the year), an up-to-date collective empadronamiento certificate, copies of the legal guardians’ Spanish ID (DNI), or NIF and passport, and the family book or a Spanish birth certificate.
Hand them in at the office
By appointment (951 270 732), Monday to Friday, 9:15 to 11:15. Enrolments are not handled by email.
Wait for the points list
If there are more applications than places, they are ranked by points. When the window closes, the list with the points is published; check the date on the notice board and on the Secretaría Virtual.
Enrol once you have a place
A copy of the health card, a medical certificate saying there is no infectious disease, one passport photo and the Infantil or Primary enrolment forms. A pupil with incomplete paperwork cannot be enrolled.
Who can apply
Families who want a place in Infantil or in Primary education.
If there are more applications than places, they are ranked by points. The scoring (the criteria and what each one adds) is set by the Junta de Andalucía.
The criteria and points are published by the Junta de Andalucía. Check them on the official admissions portal.

Part-way through the year: apply with Annex IX, at the school office.
Catchment area
These are the streets assigned to the school. Where you live can affect your score.
This school’s official area is called Benahavís_I_P_01 and covers Infantil and Primary. The two Junta PDFs list the streets with their house numbers and draw them on a map.

These are the documents the Junta published in 2025. Check with the school office that they are still current.
