CZECH SCHOOL

The Czech School offers supplementary education in Czech for Czech-speaking school-age children living in the UK. The school follows the Czech National Curriculum in order that the children can complete the yearly exams in Czech language and history.

Most of our children are from bilingual families with one parent being a native speaker of Czech. The children attend their English schools throughout the week and come to us on Saturday to learn, share and have fun together in an environment which is exclusively Czech. We work with textbooks used in Czech classrooms (Nova skola publishing house) and follow the Framework Educational Programme (RVP) for Elementary Education.

Who is it for

Our school is for bilingual children who speak Czech and English. Regrettably we are unable to accept children whose Czech falls considerably below an expected standard for their age group. To benefit from our schooling, children need to understand Czech and speak/respond adequately for their age.
Currently the school offers the 0, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th year of Czech primary school, with teachers guiding the children in reading, writing and counting in Czech. To enter the first year of school the children need to have completed the British reception class and pass an enrolment test.


Our aim :
- Improve the fluency and confidence of the children in their second mother tongue
- Teach children reading and writing and develop their speaking and listening skills
- Familiarise the children with the wider use of the Czech language
- Support parents in preparation for examinations required by Czech law (rozdilove zkousky)
- Make children aware of Czech culture and customs
