Europa School UK

Homepage

The Europa school is a UK state school offering a free bilingual education to children aged 4 - 18. Our vision is to create in the next generation an awareness and passion for different languages and different cultures. We want your children to have Europe and the World as their playground. These values have never been so important.

However, we are trying to achieve this at a time of biting austerity. Last year, out of the 235 Free schools in England, Europa school UK had the lowest funding per pupil. We are in an affluent area and most of our familes are relatively well off. In addition to this, we have higher costs because of our commitment to a bilingual education.

The new school funding formula will help and deliver us an additional 6.5%. However, this won’t kick in properly until 2020. As a new school, we have hardly any reserves to draw on to see us through these next 2 years.

We need your help. We are asking for a voluntary contribution of £30 a month for every child, £60 if you can afford it. It sounds like a lot in one go, but it’s really just £1 (or £2) a day.

We know not all of you can afford to help. If you genuinely can’t help financially, then please add your voice to our campaign by emailing howelljm@parliament.uk or your local MP.

Every one of the school governors has pledged to do their bit and we hope you will too.
