Hi,
we are in Bocairent just down the road, and my daughter goes to the secondry school here (shes 13) im pleased with the school here, shes settled well, and is doing really well there (shes the only english kid in the whole school) but have heard that the one in Ontinyent is very good,

cant help you as I am in Gandia but have a look at these, might find a bit of info

http://www.ontinyent.com/

http://www.ontinyent.es/

other than that of course the town hall will tell you the closest school to where you will be living

that's interesting ...we like Ontinyent & it is one of the possibilities for if/when we move from Javea (too many brits here now). Older dd will be of secondary school age, Do you know what sort of reputation th primary school has?

thanks for the ideas re contacting ayuntamiento, when we lived in Spain before children attended Spanish International school but now we are looking at local schools as my daughter is deaf and the private schools simply will not take her!! really looking forward to going back on the 28th and maybe that we end up with what we thought initially but just need to be sure- bit like trying on a dress then spending all afternoon trying on 50 others but ending up buying the first 1 I see!!! sure that makes sense to fellow shopaholics.

Are going to have a scout round the Ontinyent area and see what we find though but only have 2 days this time and need to come back to the UK having made a firm decision!

gosh thats pressure

good luck
