International Schools in United Kingdom

Curricula

There are 136 international schools in United Kingdom covering 24 curricula. The most widely offered are British Curriculum (83), IB (DP) (63), EYFS (Early years foundation stage) (27), Cambridge IGCSE (25), IB (MYP) (24). If your child may move countries again, an internationally-portable curriculum (IB, or Cambridge/British) keeps options open; if you're likely to settle, a curriculum matching your home or target university system can be the better fit.

Fees & what they cover

Annual tuition across United Kingdom runs from about GBP 1,200 to GBP 74,900, averaging roughly GBP 27,099. Budget for one-off costs on top — application and enrolment fees, a refundable deposit, uniform, transport and exams.

Admissions & timing

Sought-after schools in United Kingdom run waiting lists, so apply early — ideally a term or two ahead. Most admissions involve an application, prior school reports and an assessment or interview, with entry points often tied to the school year. Each school's profile shows term dates, open days and how to enquire.

Boarding

46 of the 136 schools offer boarding — useful if you're relocating or want weekly or full boarding.

How doris stays impartial

doris lists every international school in United Kingdom we can find — not only those that pay. We take no placement fees and sell no rankings or "top school" spots, so the schools above aren't ordered by who paid most. Details come from the schools' own information and public sources, and you can compare any of them side by side.
