The Swedish School in London (Swedish: Svenska Skolan i London) is an independent school in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. Swedish exchange students are offered accommodation in local host families arranged by the school.

It consists of a nursery, primary school and secondary school (Swedish: förskolan och grundskolan) for pupils aged up to 16 years, located near St Paul's School in Barnes, London, and a sixth form (gymnasiet) for 16- to 19-year-olds, in Kew, London, co-located with The National Archives. The sixth form of the school has three programmes: a science programme, a social science programme focusing on civics and the humanities and a business administration programme focusing on economics and entrepreneurship.

The school was rated "Outstanding" in its most recent Ofsted independent school inspection report in June 2023. This is the fourth consecutive Outstanding result achieved by the School and the highest level awarded by Ofsted. The School has therefore been recognised as Outstanding for the last 13 years.[2]

History

[edit]

The school was founded in 1907 in Harcourt Street, Marylebone, London W1. The lower school moved to Barnes in 1976, and the gymnasium was previously within accommodation rented from the American International University in Richmond.
