The Anglo Latinoamericana Primary School is a free school opening in Southwark in September 2014, with a focus on bilingualism (Spanish and English). If you're interested in registering your child, please read on, and register her/him before early December. Free Schools are new state-funded independent schools that are set up by groups of parents and communities, in areas where there is demonstrable parental demand. Like all state schools in England, Free Schools must be inspected by Ofsted. Unlike maintained schools, Free Schools have the independence to innovate on the curriculum, staffing structure and pay. The whole point of the Free Schools policy is that it should encourage innovation and be driven by the vision and passion of those proposing a school. The Anglo Latinoamericana will aim to provide the highest standards of education as a minimum, following the national curriculum and additionally teaching both languages to fluency and promoting Latin American heritage, arts and culture. Our aim is for our young children to be motivated to pursue higher education or professions with the whole of the English & Spanish speaking world open to them. We believe greatly in parental involvement in the education of their children and will be actively encouraging and where necessary supporting parents to understand and get involved, at home and in school. All faiths are valued but the school is not a faith school. If your child was born September 2009- August 2010, s/he would enter reception class in our opening year.
