Halcyon London International School
School summary
One of the few schools in central London to teach the International Baccalaureate from start to finish, Halcyon London International School offers a distinctly global education in the heart of Westminster. Founded in 2013, it remains deliberately small, with around 155 pupils and a sixth form of 48, allowing close attention to each child. Around 18 per cent of pupils receive SEN support, a notably high proportion that reflects an inclusive intake. Under Director Jeff Lippman, the school is independently inspected by the ISI.

Places are limited and demand is high, so exam performance is what sets candidates apart. Passmate turns the months ahead into ten focused minutes a day on the exact topics this school tests.

Teaching & academics
The curriculum is built entirely around the IB, an internationally recognised programme that emphasises breadth, critical thinking and learning across cultures. With nearly a third of its pupils in the sixth form, Halcyon is geared towards guiding students through to the IB Diploma and on to university. The small roll keeps class sizes intimate throughout.

That’s where Passmate comes in. Tutoring is the most effective thing in a child’s preparation - a well-tutored child can outperform the vast majority of their peers. Passmate works alongside your tutor, not instead of them: it learns how your child thinks, finds the gaps, and shows the tutor exactly where to spend each session - so the limited time you have lands on what actually decides a place.
Works alongside your child’s tutor - not instead of them.
