Christmas Celebration
10 January 2027
Dear students, teachers, and friends of our school!
We are delighted to invite you to our most magical New Year celebration! This year, we will embark on a journey through our favourite fairy tales, discovering the true meaning of kindness and friendship.
It all began with a disagreement… A brother and sister, Kolya and Masha, simply couldn’t agree on what matters most in life and when facing challenges.
“Kindness and loyal friends are what matter most!” insisted Masha.
“No! Logic and careful planning are the most important things!” argued Kolya.
To find the answer, the children set off on a magical adventure to visit Ded Moroz (Father Frost) in his enchanted land. Along the way, they will meet characters from beloved fairy tales, face exciting challenges, and learn important life lessons. As Masha and Kolya travel further, more and more companions join their adventure.
Come and join us! Let’s embark on this journey together and find out who is right in the end!
Be sure to bring all your talents and costumes to the celebration! Everyone can take part in one of our fairy tales. We welcome all kinds of talents, including singing, dancing, acrobatics, and playing musical instruments.
To take part in a performance, please register using the form linked below.
Our story
In early September, our school held a special celebration to congratulate all our students who achieved Grade 9 – the highest possible grade – in their GCSE Russian examination!
Almost all of these students joined our school when they were very young, and we have had the pleasure of watching them grow and develop over the years.
They are exceptionally hardworking, talented and dedicated young people who have never ceased to amaze us!
Throughout their years at our school, and especially during their GCSE preparation, their written work consistently stood out for its rich vocabulary, depth of thought, expressive language and remarkable length and detail.
We have carefully preserved hundreds of their wonderful pieces of writing — a true reflection of their dedication, perseverance and love for the Russian language.
To our dear graduates,
We are incredibly proud of you and deeply grateful to have had such wonderful young people as part of our school community. It is a particular joy that some of you will continue your studies with us!
Your achievements bring us enormous happiness and pride. We wish you every success, exciting opportunities and many more wonderful accomplishments in the years ahead.
Congratulations on your outstanding GCSE results!
A mum from our Russian school has written her third book for children who are just beginning to read.
In The Lion and the Moose, 92% of the words contain just 1–5 letters, making it an ideal choice for bilingual children who are learning to read in Russian. With its simple words and beautiful, colourful illustrations, this book makes learning to read in Russian easier and more enjoyable for your child.
