Education

Some of the best bilingual schools and nurseries in London

The state educational system in England no longer makes foreign languages compulsory at GCSE level whilst more and more parents are realising the importance of teaching their children  another language and would like to opt for the private sector instead.

Of course, this is perhaps linked to the fact that families coming from abroad are keen to have their children brought up bilingual or it could also be that parents want their children to be more open to what the world has to offer and learning another language will help them in this, as well as giving them a real advantage when entering the world of business.
