About international schools in London, United Kingdom
Affordable international schools in London are a mixed group of independent day schools, smaller bilingual settings and international branches that aim to give relocating families continuity without the very highest fees charged by some central London institutions. They commonly teach the International Baccalaureate (PYP/MYP/DP), British curricula (National Curriculum with IGCSEs and A-levels) and several national systems or bilingual tracks, with French, Spanish and Mandarin frequently on offer. Fee levels vary widely: more affordable options often sit in lower fee bands (roughly the low-£thousands up to the mid-£20,000s for younger years), while mainstream international schools tend to publish fees in the high-teens to tens of thousands per year, so expect costs to rise with senior years and exam entry. Most international schools in London use rolling or termly admissions and their most popular year groups can fill many months ahead, and families should also budget for the 20% VAT that has applied to private school fees since 1 January 2025 when comparing total cost of attendance.
