To discover everything Southbank has to offer, we regularly host information mornings throughout the academic year. This is the best way to get a feel for what makes Southbank so special.

Our information mornings give you and your child an opportunity to meet and hear from the Principal, view our excellent facilities, talk to current students and teachers, find out more about the International Baccalaureate and ask any questions you have about the school and our admissions process.

We also offer personal tours led by our Admissions Managers.

As part of our IB Primary Years Programme (PYP), we offer our Early Childhood curriculum for children aged 2-5 years.

Through inquiry-based learning and play, it aims to engage and stimulate young students and nurture their academic, personal and social development.

We encourage our Early Childhood students to explore, investigate and play through activities chosen by them and activities initiated by an adult. To support learning through play, our classroom environments are set up so students can move freely around clearly defined areas for reading, writing, art, construction, imaginative play, science and mathematics. These are situated both indoors and outdoors.

Students are encouraged to become: inquirers, thinkers, communicators, risk-takers, and to be knowledgeable, principled, caring, open-minded, balanced and reflective. They develop these attributes within the classroom, during Town Meetings (assemblies), in the playground, and while participating in Southbank’s many extracurricular activities.

The PYP is all about inquiry: the process through which a learner moves from his or her current level of understanding to a new and deeper level. Our students will be:

- Exploring, wondering and questioning

- Collecting data and reporting findings

- Taking and defending a position

- Using critical thinking skills to understand a concept

- Making and testing theories

- Experimenting and playing with possibilities

- Solving problems in a variety of ways

Southbank students attending our Kensington and Hampstead campuses go on to study at our Westminster campus from Grade 6. 

Southbank Westminster offers the IB Middle Years Programme (MYP) and the IB Diploma Programme (DP) with students ranging in age from 11 to 18 years old. It represents 70 nationalities.

The Middle Years Programme (11-15 yrs) shares the PYP's commitment to learning through inquiry and continues to develop attributes of the IB learner profile. The MYP emphasises intellectual challenge, encouraging students to make connections between their studies in traditional subjects and the real world.

The Diploma Programme (15-18 yrs) encourages students to ask challenging questions, develop a strong sense of their own identity and culture, and develop the ability to communicate with and understand people from other countries and cultures. It prepares students for the next stage in their education and the qualification is widely-recognised by the world's leading universities.
