The Swedish School in London

London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, United Kingdom · built 1907

The Swedish School in London (Svenska Skolan i London) is an independent school located in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. Since its founding in 1907, the school has supported Swedish expatriate families wishing to maintain their language and cultural heritage while living in London. Approximately half of the pupils are permanently resident in the UK, while the remainder are expats. The school consists of a nursery, primary school and secondary school (förskolan och grundskolan) for pupils aged 2-16 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 Swedish School in London is regulated by the British schools inspectorate, Ofsted, as well as by the Swedish national agency for education, Skolverket. The school welcomes Swedish exchange students in the Sixth Form, who stay with local host families arranged by the school. The school has been recognised as Outstanding for the last 14 years, including as a boarding school.
