Welcome to YEAR 1 at AZBUKA Russian-English Bilingual School!

Year 1 class begins at AZBUKA! This September AZBUKA Russian-English Bilingual School welcomed their first Year 1 to the school.

The children follow a special bilingual programme, which has been developed over many years, based on international in depth research. In the Reception Class the children have lessons in English once a week (10% of all lessons). In Year 1 the lessons are split equally between Russian and English.

We have two wonderful primary school teachers leading the children in the curriculum in Year 1: Sasha Williams (teaching lessons in English); and Elena Rozenberg (teaching lessons in Russian).

New at AZBUKA bilingual school for 2016/17

Starting from this year we have introduced school uniform for the Reception the Year 1 classes.

Also from the 1st November we are able to offer a school canteen service at AZBUKA where children can enjoy hot school dinners. The meals are varied with carefully selected dishes of Russian and European cuisines cooked daily on the school premises!
