The Russian Embassy School in London (Russian: Средняя школа при Посольстве России в Великобритании, romanizedSrednyaya shkola pri Posolstve Rossii v Velikobritanii) is a Russian international school in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, London.[1][2] As of 2015 the school has 150 students.[3] It is operated by the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The school accepts students from Russian diplomat families. The Russian Ambassador may decide whether or not a student not from a diplomatic family will get enrollment in the school.[4]

It was founded in 1954,[5] and was previously the Soviet Embassy School in London.

It was reported in 2025 that the school was providing instruction on "combat skills" including the use of battlefield drones following curriculum changes in the aftermath of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.[6]
