Education in Spain
You can see Inspection reports of British Schools in Spain here https://www.britishcouncil.es/en/programmes/education/schools
and NABSS National Association of British Schools in Spain - Nabss
also COBIS Home - Council of British International Schools
I've found this, which seems to operate along the same lines as NABBS & COBIS - but for 'International rather than British
MAIS - Mediterranean Association of International Schools
the US Embassy also has a list of American schools in Spain

education in the Basque region http://www.guiaeuskadi.org/guia/?slnk=The-Basque-education-system

Possibly the most often asked question is about what age children start school here, & will they be held back?
some schools will hold your child back for the first year to help them pick up the language, some will see how it goes & maybe hold back later
the biggest difference in Spanish schools is that the year they are in depends upon the year they were born, regardless of the month
the following is what year your child would be age-appropriate for when the school year starts in September 2023 - going by year of birth
2008- 4th YEAR SECONDARY
2009 - 3rdYEAR SECONDARY
2010 - 2nd YEAR SECONDARY
2011 - 1st YEAR SECONDARY
2012 - 6th/last YEAR PRIMARY
2013 - 5th YEAR PRIMARY
2014 - 4th YEAR PRIMARY
2015 - 3rdYEAR PRIMARY
2016 - 2nd YEAR PRIMARY
2017 - 1st YEAR PRIMARY
2018 - 3rd/last YEAR INFANTS
2019 - 2nd YEAR INFANTS
2020 - 1st YEAR INFANTS
