Who should apply?

Whether your child already speaks Portuguese or not, the school is an excellent option to consider for each family living in Wandsworth and convinced that a double Curriculum and the ability to switch from a language to the other is one of the most valued skills in our world. The school already welcomed a significant amount of students who had no Portuguese on entry

In Reception, the school has an immersion model with no particular percentage of Portuguese. From year 1, children will get a daily lesson of Portuguese language teaching as well as the possibility of other curriculum areas being taught in Portuguese. Minimum 30-40% of the week will be Portuguese.
