2022 - 2023 School Year!
The seventh year of the Bulgarian School Skylark!
The new school year 2022-2023 is the seventh for the School. Is that too many or too lttle - the children of our school and their parents can better tell! A good number of children, who entered our School back in 2016, continue to be with us. As time was going on, we found that South and South-East London needs another branch of the School, and we opened a new one in Caterham. And last year students, living in Tonbridge and Royal Tunbridge Wells, enroled in our School, as well. So, we continue to expand our education activities in our efforts to respond to the needs of Bulgarian families living in this part of London and of Southern England.
Growing!
Indeed, the children that came to us in 2016, are now in year 10! We grow not only by learning years - now we have children age 5 to age 19, which is year 12 - but also in number: the school started with 16 children only, then we had 42 children, last year we had 90 students and this shool year we work with more than 100 students!
The three school's locations
Starting the 2022-2023 school year, we are now having classes in three locations: at "Arhcbishop Tenison's CoE High School" in Central Croydon, at "Hillcroft Primary School" in Caterham and in the classrooms of "OfficeTribe" in Tunbridge Wells".
Parents, please bring your children at the time for their classes and take them back after the classes have finished so that each year group starts lessons on time and finish on time too - thus, we will use our teaching time in the most efficient way. The parents of children, who study at "Archbishop Tenison's", already know that we use the entrance facing the playground, not the main school's entrance; and the parents of children, who have their classes at "Hillcroft Primary" know that we use the entrance adjacent to the school's Dining Hall.
The year group students living in Tunbridge Wells and the neighbouring towns of Tonbridge and Sevenoaks should contact the year group's teacher Ms Plamena Andreeva (bgschooltw@gmail.com) for any detail and news about the new school year. They can also write to the School's email (chuchuliga.uk@gmail.com) or give us a call!
Dear parents and students!
Welcome to the webpage of the Bulgarian School Chuchuliga (Skylark)!
Our School started its first classes at the beginning of September 2016 and now we continue to work with children and parents living in Croydon, Caterham and other neighbouring South London's boroughs and beyond London.
For the 2022-2023 school year the School offers two approaches to education.
In-class education where students and teachers have classes at the education facilities of Archbishop Tenison's High School in Croydon and of Hillcroft Primary School in Caterham; now we are using the education facilities of the business centre OfficeTribe in Tunbridge Wells where more than 20 students study there.
Online education which can be of two types: online teaching and learning where teachers work with small students' groups of the same school year through the online platform Zoom, and distant teaching where teachers and students use various education platforms to fulfil all curriculum-defined education goals and objectives; it is important that in this type of education all lessons, excercises, tests, training materials, etc. are regularly and efficiently done while teachers and students remain in constant contact with each other
Teaching at the School is done according to Order № 90 of the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Bulgaria (of 29 May 2018, amended and supplemented on 2 October 2020) concerning the activities of Bulgarian schools abroad; our School acts in full compliance with the regulations of the Bulgarian Ministry of Education
The Bulgarian School Skylark is included in the Register of the Bulgarian Ministry of Education and Science (under No. 27) and its work is overseen by the ministry; the School gets some financial support from the Bulgarian ministry for its activities
Dear children!
We want to assure you that in our School you will not only well learn Bulgarian language but will also get to know the history and the natural beauties of Bulgaria, and will have every opportunity to plunge into the magnificent cultural heritage of the Bulgarian people. At the same time you will surely make new friends, and with them you will spend wonderful time
