I have been educating my three children at the Swedish School in London for 13 years so far (at Barnes ages 3-16 and Kew ages 16-19) and it is a truly wonderful school. The last three Ofsted rankings have been OUTSTANDING and the academic results are incredible. 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. The new management team works so hard and puts the children's wellbeing and education first. 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 academically, socially and culturally.

I’ve had my son at the Swedish School for six years and he is thriving.
I am particlarly happy with the small class sizes which provide opportunity for excellent student/teacher interaction and that several classes (beyond English), such as PE, Music and Craft, are in English with native English speakers.
I love the many interactions the children have across all age groups. Whether it is teaming up for Kick Off Day, semmelrace, Lucia or the Spring Show, they get to know each other outside their year groups which benefits them all.
Despite being a picky eater, there are lots of thumbs up when I ask about lunch. Gunnar who cooks for the children is a superhero in the kitchen!
I think SSL is a wonderful school.

Poor leadership
Not listening to parents’ feedback
Everything optimised for teachers and making their lives easier, the children and their education is not their primary focus
