Greek School
To help parents to teach our language to our younger generation and maintain our heritage, we operate our Greek Sunday School on the same days as our Orthodox services. The School provides Greek education from Reception to GCSE level and is open to all children of our community. Details of the School's Curriculum can be provided on request.
Classes
We run 5 or sometimes 6 classes, based on pupils' age and abilities in the Greek language:
† A Reception class for young children
† A GCSE class for older children with adequate knowledge of the Greek language, and
3 or 4 intermediate classes:
† 2 classes for bilingual pupils and more confident Greek speakers/readers, and
† 2 classes for English speakers to develop their confidence with the Greek language.
School Dates/Times
The School classes run from 11.15am until 13.30pm, with a break of 15 minutes.
Parents are encouraged to stay for the liturgy while their children are in class, as we try to co-ordinate the class finishing time to coincide with the end of the liturgy and in time for the children to take Holy Communion.
Lessons take place on the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Sunday of each month (and on the 5th when applicable), from 11:15 to 13:30.
School Terms
The School year has 3 Terms:
† September to December (with a break for Christmas)
† January to April (with a break for Easter)
† May to July (with a break for the Summer holidays)
Term dates are usually announced to parents by email.

Volunteers
If you are willing to give your time and knowledge, we are always looking for volunteers to help our children to learn about their great heritage and culture. We rely entirely on our community to fund the School, and we invite parents to consider a monthly voluntary contribution to help us to cover the costs. If you are not a parent but would like to support us financially, we welcome your help with the costs of running the School.
