В начальную Русско-английскую школу АЗБУКА принимаются дети от 5 до 10 лет. Для создания оптимальной среды обучения количество учеников в наших классах не превышает 12 человек.
Обучение в начальной школе основано на методиках, ставящих в центр учебного процесса ребенка и позволяющих ему активно изучать окружающий мир через игровую и познавательную деятельности.
В процессе обучения дети развиваются в следующих направлениях: русский и английский языки и грамота, математика, окружающий мир (введение в историю, географию и науку), физическое развитие, социально- эмоциональное развитие, музыкальное, творческое и культурное развитие.
В начальной школе дети погружены в уникальную двуязычную учебную среду с равноценным соотношением английского и русского языков. В каждом классе преподают двое учителей – носители русского и английского языков.
Программа преподавания школьных предметов предусматривает ротацию обучения на двух языках, позволяя ученикам изучать предметы, приобретать навыки и обогащать словарный запас в двуязычном контексте.
Школа Азбука работает в полном соответствии с государственными учебными стандартами (OFSTED) и отвечает всем требованиям независимых школ.
Таким образом, наша школа всесторонне готовит учеников к различным экзаменам и тестам, и к поступлению в средние школы России или Великобритании.

The founding members have always been committed to community cohesion and inclusion of diverse families in the life and work of AZBUKA Foundation.
Our admissions policy as well as all other policies and practices reflect the fundamental values of universal access to education.
AZBUKA School is an educational charity and a new specialist school. An educational organisation of this kind has enormous fundraising challenges in the UK today. Generating income is never easy and takes a long time, achieved through the voluntary work of supporters, trustees, parents and patrons.
Despite the challenges, we always knew that this small specialist independent school would be not just about academic achievement as measured only by test results, but as something much more valuable and universal: fostering happiness through an approach to education and schooling rooted in the shared linguistic and cultural values of the participating families, and their common interests in and demand for bilingual education. Since our establishment, we have always strived to be supportive, to admit very different and diverse families into the Nursery and School, and to collaborate externally with the local community and beyond.
Here are some of our achievements so far:
- There has always been room for Special needs (Senco) children in the nursery, with very good support resulting in amazing progress and achievement in all areas of learning alongside bilingual education. Two children with severe delays have studied at Azbuka Nursery.
- There are children from families where Russian is not spoken at home and who have been able with our support to develop as bilingual high achievers in secondary schools. They have expressed their gratitude for Azbuka’s system.
- Our published policies reflect a commitment to the development of special educational provision in the future (see our policy and open days).
- Four lower income families have benefitted directly from grants and bursaries from the AZBUKA Foundation and the Garfield Foundation, allowing them to begin their education at the AZBUKA Primary school. We continue to search for further grants and external financial support so that we can offer more bursaries to lower income families.
- The Azbuka Cultural Centre and Bilingual Resource Centre have undertaken substantial activities with support from staff and volunteers, to promote Russian culture, including:
- o supporting language teaching in other mainstream schools in the London Borough of Richmond-upon-Thames (LBRUT), including Orleans and St Stephens
- o organising the AZBUKA Fair for the wider community (2016 and 2017) which attracted many people from both the local area and further afield, and
- o participating in the Kings College Language Festival, Russian Educational fair in London, Pushkin House cultural events and other joint work
- The AZBUKA school has been offering volunteering opportunities for secondary school students from local schools working towards their Duke of Edinburgh awards.
- Pupils of AZBUKA participated in the Holland Park Opera Production of Queen of Spades in 2016.
- AZBUKA Foundation has run training courses for the wider community, including CPD courses for mainstream teachers to support bilingual development in early years and education.
- AZBUKA Nursery has been in the directory of educational providers for many years. It has participated in the Quality Assurance scheme to obtain Early Education grants for different families through Richmond Borough, including lower income families for 2-year old children.
- AZBUKA School has been open to collaboration in supporting academic research and CPD for students in London and abroad. Examples include Goldsmith College students who undertake regular visits to the Saturday school as part of their teacher training and linguistics work, and researchers from Edinburgh University and St Petersburg University, who have undertaken research and work at AZBUKA School.
- Tara Fortune from CARLA, the main language centre in the US, is one of our consultants and a patron.
- AZBUKA has support from Russian cultural institutions and has an information partnership with the Russian Embassy in UK.
- Visiting artists, poets and theatre companies from Russia including the writer Andrei Ushachov have been involved in wider community project and visits led by AZBUKA, including at Kings College London, Eton College and Pushkin House.
One planned future project is to establish links with a home for elderly people in London as well as with Russian speaking elderly people in the community, so that our children can help support them while learning and appreciating the importance of charity and community service through long term and meaningful work and school life.
The AZBUKA School has been establishing links with bilingual schools both in England as well as abroad.
- It has obtained Pupil Premium for 3-4 year olds. This is how it was spent (2016-2017):
Azbuka Russian Nursery School SDP Aut 2017 – Total
£751.68 School trips, visits, contribution towards professional fees (theatre and story telling visits), photocopies (educational materials and resources), staff training
Azbuka Russian Nursery School SDP Spring 2017 – Total £1,373.76
Help to cover costs of school lunches (New Azbuka kitchen), school trips, additional materials, photocopies, additional part-time teaching assistants, staff CPD training
Azbuka Russian Nursery School Summer 2017
£1,373.76
Help to cover costs of school lunches, school trips, additional materials, colour photocopies and visiting professionals (story telling, music especially)
The community of parents, teachers, trustees and friends of Azbuka continue to seek financial support to help support the inclusion of people from diverse backgounds in the educational and cultural work and life of AZBUKA.
Visitors are welcome to Azbuka School. They make a contribution to the life and work of the school in many different ways. The learning, teaching, training and research opportunities and experience they bring are encouraged and appreciated (from the Russian, English and international community). It is the school’s responsibility, however, to ensure that the security and welfare of its pupils is not compromised at any time.
The school is equally responsible to the whole school community (as well as the community of the partner THS school) for ensuring that visitors comply with the guidelines.

Изучаемые предметы: математика, русский язык, английский язык, окружающий мир (введение в историю, географию, точные науки), информационные технологии, музыка, художественное искусство, танец, третий иностранный язык (с третьего класса).
После уроков проводятся дополнительные клубы и кружки.
Домашние проекты и задания начинаются с первого класса начальной школы.
