Students leave our school confident and engaged in their individual learning journey. The school follows the academic framework set by British National Curriculum through Scandinavian values through

Interest-based learning
“The quality of the pupils’ personal development is excellent.”
ISI Report Inspection Report, March 2023
Nursery
A typical day in Nursery starts with a child-led creative play, onto a morning meeting, and then off to one of the many area playgrounds and open spaces. The teachers follow the children’s interests to create teachable moments throughout the day.
Preschool & Reception
Designed to bridge the gap between Nursery and Primary, our Preschool & Reception class follows the 7 Areas of Learning. We gently and gradually help our children build and develop their concentration through short structured activities sandwiched between periods of play.
Primary
Our educational model includes a heavy emphasis on outdoor and active learning. Small, focused classes with high teacher-to-student ratios create an empowered and engaged environment.
All classes are in English, with Danish, Swedish and other language lessons offered based on capacity.
Welcome to London Scandinavian School!
I am very proud to be the Headteacher of such an inclusive and nurturing school community right in the heart of London, which is open to families of all backgrounds.
At London Scandinavian School we really believe that all children arrive with a natural curiosity and willingness to learn and grow, and that our role as educators is to come alongside them with the same enthusiasm, creating the freedom, environment and confidence to explore the world around them.
I love that the school offers a unique blend, considering the environment we are in, London, and therefore delivering the UK National curriculum, but underpinned by the strong values of Scandinavian education and culture.
We would love to hear from you if you are looking for a small school community that will care for your child as an individual, understands the importance of communication and relationship from an early age, whilst shaping them into curious, lifelong learners.
Katie Howard, Headteacher
“When we walked in we got a feeling of something special. It felt homey with a relaxed sense of togetherness. It felt secure. To us the most important thing was that our kids would thrive socially and would be happy to go school. We were certain the learning would come from there and this proved to be the case.”
— Morten, Former Parent
