Welcome to Southbank International School
We are London's leading International Baccalaureate (IB) School, offering a different approach to academic excellence for children aged 2*-18
At our Central London campuses in Hampstead, Kensington and Westminster, we nurture talent, celebrate individuality and develop curious, inquisitive and constantly challenging minds. Our students consistently achieve outstanding results and first-choice university offers.
The International Baccalaureate (IB) program is enjoyed by both international learners and those who have not previously studied the IB, including children moving over from private primary or secondary schools. The IB aims to do more than other curricula. It builds students critical thinking skills, nurtures their curiosity and their ability to solve complex problems.
Through a commitment to academic excellence and a uniquely liberal ethos, the IB also develops students with an inner belief in themselves. Southbank students have an openness to the outside world and a desire to give back to communities on a local, national and global level.

IB Diploma Results at a Glance
We are proud to share the exceptional results of our graduating Class of 2025 in the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP).
This year, 75 students completed the full Diploma. Their results reflect the hard work, intellectual ambition, and commitment that characterise a Southbank education.
These outcomes place Southbank among the leading IB schools globally. Just as importantly, they reflect the strength of our inclusive, student-centred approach – where academic achievement is balanced with critical thinking, creativity, and global awareness.
We congratulate all our students and thank our dedicated teachers, staff, and families for their continued support.

Keeping the IB Diploma Within Reach Through Our Scholarship Programme
With the Department for Education’s recent decision to withdraw funding for the IB Diploma Programme in state schools, many talented students may feel their path to an international education is narrowing.
At Southbank International School, we believe access to the IB should not depend on circumstance.
That’s why we offer a Diploma Programme Scholarship for motivated, high-achieving students who aspire to study within a world-class IB community.
Our scholarship helps ensure that exceptional learners can continue to benefit from the global perspective, academic rigour, and personal growth that the IB fosters.
Applications close Friday, 5 December, there’s not much longer to apply.

Exploring identity and place through art🎨
Our Grade 11 and 12 Visual Arts students visited the Tate Modern, travelling via St Paul’s and the Millennium Bridge to experience two major exhibitions: Emily Kame Kngwarreye and Do Ho Suh. Students reflected on how artists from very different cultural backgrounds express identity, place and home. Their enthusiasm and curiosity made the morning a true pleasure for everyone involved. A big thank you to a Grade 11 student for capturing such beautiful photos of the visit.
