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.

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.

Creative thinking through small parts🧠
Our Early Years students explored with an array of materials such as bottle tops, buttons, buckles and beads. Through imaginative play, they developed patterns and created representations from their own ideas. As they worked together, students shared inspiration, problem solved and refined their fine motor skills, showing how every moment in Early Years is a powerful opportunity for learning and growth.
