Pupils enjoy being part of the community at this small and friendly school. They develop very positive and professional relationships with each other and their teachers. Pupils are motivated by leaders’ and teachers’ high expectations for every pupil to learn a high-quality curriculum and receive the individual support they need to be successful. Pupils achieve highly. Pupils are polite and welcoming. Students on the sixth-form exchange programme settle in rapidly. Students typically commented that the school feels like ‘a second home’. Pupils are safe in school. They rapidly develop a mature outlook and respect the school’s code of conduct. They are considerate towards others. Pupils appreciate taking on responsibilities. Older pupils are keen to have the opportunity to read to younger pupils. Pupils of all ages mix together amiably. This is exemplified in the spring performance in which everyone has an important role to play, on stage or behind the scenes. Sixth-form students take responsibility for organising social events, including celebrations of Swedish festivals. Leaders make extensive use of the resources and opportunities that London has to offer to support pupils’ learning of the curriculum. Leaders organise educational visits to museums and galleries regularly. There is a range of clubs for pupils to access after school.

“A wonderful school for raising bilingual children”
26 November 2020AUTHOR: Christina

I am educating my three children at the Swedish School in London (Barnes ages 3-16 and Kew ages 16-19) and it is a truly wonderful school. The last three Ofsted rankings have been EXCELLENT and the academic results are incredible. In June 2020, the schools results at GCSE equivalent averaged 300 out of a total of 340 (88%) with some children getting higher than 95%. Plus the class sizes are small, the teachers are engaged, the school community is involved and the children become bilingual and have amazing social skills.
Educationalists argue that the Swedish education system is less target-driven and more child-centred, as children start their formal academic training later than in the UK and feel less pressured by external exams. This is so true - and you can see why the stats show that the Swedish system is much better than the British - and why it's in the top 10 for reading in international rankings.
I would recommend this school to any parent with a child who has a Nordic connection (eg parent or grandparent) as you will end up with a well rounded child both academically and socially, as well as culturally.
