Inspired Education to acquire El Colegio Británico in Madrid from British Council.

Inspired Education, an operator of premium private schools worldwide, agreed to acquire El Colegio Británico in Madrid, a British school in Spain, from British Council, a British organisation specialising in international cultural and educational opportunities. Financial terms were not disclosed. "We are so proud of what we have achieved with the school over 85 years. It has been, and it remains, a hugely successful school. We thank our students, parents, staff and alumni for their continuous support and engagement over the years. While we are selling the school, we are certainly not leaving Spain and remain fully committed to our work there, building connections between the UK and Spain through our work in Arts and Culture, Education and the English language," Scott McDonald, British Council CEO.
