Inspection snapshot
The overall picture is strongly international and curriculum led, with Southbank foregrounding the International Baccalaureate rather than a standard British independent-school pathway. Parents should still visit because the decisive question is whether the balance of global outlook, local campus feel and day-to-day warmth feels right for their child.
Assessment approach
Assessment at Southbank International School Hampstead is inquiry based, continuous and teacher led in line with an IB primary approach, with progress tracked through participation, reflection, communication and conceptual understanding as well as core skills. Parents should expect regular dialogue and a fuller picture of learning than simple test scores alone provide.
