Hi Kiptic and welcome to the forum.  It can be really hard to find any information on the internet in Spain, they don't use it as much as they do in the UK.

You could try the Orihuela Costa official council website - http://www.orihuela-costa.eu/index_ing.php - there is a page there about the education system.  I can't find any actual details of the schools themselves but I know there is a school at the top of the market street and there is one in Los Dolces.  These schools both have lots of temporary buildings and there have been lots of complaints about this, so I think you should check it out carefully.  Many brits here use the international schools instead but at the age of your children it would be great if they could integrate with the local kids.

You will see an email address for Stefan Pokroppa on the website - he speaks english and you could email him and ask for specific info on the local schools.

There are lots of us on the forum from the area so don't hesitate to ask if you need more help.

I have sent you a PM with some basic details on regarding the registration process.Hope they are of some help to you.
