We're planning to set up a free school in Central London (we call it Anglo Russian Lycee at present), which will teach subjects in English and Russian. We hope to be able to combine the best of the British and old Soviet educational traditions.
We think of setting up a primary school first in 2015 and then move to all-through based on Cambridge International Examinations curriculum. Location-wise we are thinking of some place in Central London with good transport links to other parts of the city.
I know that now when Channel Fox broadcasts "Meeting the Russians" it might not seem to be an appropriate idea to do anything Russian related, yet...
The issue is we do not want it to become a school for the Russian speaking community only. We believe that only schools which have a good international mix have the future. With this in mind we'd really appreciate any advice/comments/further questions which would help us make the school appealing to a wider community.
Your brainstorming would be much appreciated!
