\nOur admissions policy as well as all other policies and practices reflect the fundamental values of universal access to education.
\nAZBUKA 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.
\nDespite 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 wellbeing and 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.
\nHere are some of our achievements so far:<\/p>\n\n
\n– supporting language teaching in other mainstream schools in the London Borough of Richmond-upon-Thames (LBRUT), including Orleans and St Stephens
\n– Initiating an Education Information Centre for refugees, esp Russian\/Ukrainian speakers with the support of Garfield foundation and Hammersmith and Fulham LA
\n– organising the AZBUKA Fair for the wider community which attracted many people from both the local area and further afield, and
\n– participating in the Kings College Language Festival, Russian Educational fair in London, Pushkin House cultural events and other joint work<\/li>\n
