Campuses

Southbank International School was the first school in London and the UK to be authorised to offer all three International Baccalaureate (IB) programmes. We have led the way in providing internationally-relevant world class education for over 30 years and continue to be at the forefront.

The school has flourished from its humble beginnings on London's South Bank with a few dozen students. It is now a tri-campus institution in the heart of London serving more than 700 3-18/19 year olds.

Located in some of the most desirable residential locations in London, we have two Primary schools offering the IB Primary Years Programme (3-11 year olds): Southbank Hampstead is an attractive, purpose-built school behind an Edwardian style facade; Southbank Kensington is a charming building, originally two original Victorian villas, a couple of minutes from Notting Hill Gate tube station.

Both Primary schools feed into Southbank Westminster, IB Middle Years Programme (11-16 year olds) situated in a superb Grade II listed building, the one-time home of writer Frances Hodgson Burnett, with sumptuous architectural features based on the sketches of Robert Adam (1773). The Campus is a stone's throw from Regent's Park and also has an annexe for IB Diploma students (16-18-10 year olds) in Conway Street.

Southbank is most definitely not a typical school. There is no uniform, the admissions process requires qualities in addition to academic attainment and students consistently go on to be high achievers. We use London as our classroom, taking full advantage of the city's cultural riches. All Primary students from age of 5 upwards learn to play either the violin or cello. Virtually all students go on to university and their examination results place Southbank in the top division of schools in Britain for academic performance.
