Lycée International de Londres Winston Churchill

What Lycée International de Londres Winston Churchill does

Lycée International de Londres Winston Churchill is a private bilingual international school located in Wembley, London, serving approximately 800 students aged 3–18 from more than 40 nationalities. Founded in 2015 and registered as a charity in England (Charity No 1160719), the school operates from a Grade II listed former Brent Town Hall building on a 2-hectare campus with 12,000 sqm of developed space. The school's core product is a 50/50 French-English bilingual immersion programme delivered by two native-speaking teachers per classroom, structured across two parallel academic tracks: a French Track leading to the Diplôme National du Brevet, Baccalauréat Français, and Baccalauréat Français International, and an International Track leading to IGCSEs and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme. The model is enriched by proprietary programmes including the English International Programme (EIP), Singapore Mathematics integration, the LEAP Oxbridge-prep programme, Extended Project Qualification, and the Duke of Edinburgh's International Award.

The school generates revenue primarily through recurring tuition fees charged to families across Early Years, Primary, and Secondary, supplemented by ancillary services including after-school care (Garderie), an extracurricular programme with 30+ activities, LIL Break Camps at £60/day (also open to external children), and community venue hire of the campus. The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer, relying on private visits booked via Calendly, bilingual admissions consultations, Open Days, and community events. The teaching faculty maintains a 8:1 student-to-staff ratio, with 95% holding an MA and/or PhD and speaking 17 languages across 40+ countries of residence.

The school holds multiple accreditations that function as regulatory barriers: French Ministère de l'Éducation Nationale (AEFE Établissement Partenaire), IB World School, CIS, ECIS, Cambridge Assessment International Education, and ISA. It has received the ISA Senior School of the Year Award (2022), Label Génération 2024 from the French Ministry of Education, and Apple Distinguished School status. Exam outcomes are a key commercial proof point, with 100% pass rates across DNB, Baccalauréat Français, and IB Diploma, and an IB average score of 34.2 points in 2026 versus a world average of 30.88. Graduates have received offers from Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial College London, LSE, Sciences Po, École Polytechnique, Duke, Cornell, McGill, and the University of Toronto, supporting the school's positioning among premium London international education options.

Core offering

The school delivers a rigorous bilingual (French-English) education for students aged 3-18, alternating 50/50 between French and English instruction with two native-speaking teachers per class.

Product overview

Lycée International de Londres Winston Churchill is a private international bilingual school for students aged 3–18, founded in 2015 and located in Wembley, London. The school operates a unified bilingual education core spanning Early Years, Primary, and Secondary, delivered through two parallel tracks: the French Track (leading to the Diplôme National du Brevet, Baccalauréat Français, and Baccalauréat Français International) and the International Track (leading to IGCSEs and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme). Both tracks share a common bilingual framework, co-curricular activities (Opening Minds, LILMUN, THRIVE arts festival, Duke of Edinburgh's Award), and enrichment modules (LEAP, EPQ). The school also provides auxiliary services including after-school childcare and activities (ASP), holiday LIL Break Camps, careers and university guidance, student wellbeing and safeguarding, and community venue hire. The unified bilingual programme is the core product, with the two academic tracks and enrichment offerings forming an integrated portfolio rather than independent standalone modules.
