Headteacher’s welcome
Welcome to the Primary school in Brandýs nad Labem. We offer a modern and inspiring learning environment with an emphasis on an individual approach to every pupil. The school is equipped with state-of-the-art digital technologies (e.g. interactive whiteboards, iPads, 3D printers), spacious classrooms, and an outdoor relaxation area. We have a swimming pool directly in the school building, where pupils take swimming lessons every year. As part of PE, we also go ice-skating and take part in ski courses. We regularly organise school trips in nature as well as abroad (e.g. Switzerland, France, England). We run a wide range of extracurricular activities that complement lessons and develop pupils’ interests.
Our students take part in national testing – Scio tests (Years 5, 7 and 9) – and competitions (Kangaroo Maths, Logic Olympiad, Pythagoriad). In English they sit international exams: in Year 4 – Key for Schools (level A2), in Year 6 – PET (level B1), and in Year 8 – FCE (level B2).
At Tip Toes Primary school we create an inspiring bilingual environment where children learn with joy and enthusiasm. Our goal is to nurture confident, well-rounded individuals ready to continue successfully in further studies.
Our values
The first step towards a successful future starts with us.
At our bilingual Primary schools we prepare pupils to continue on lower secondary programmes or multi-year grammar schools. Our unique educational programme is designed so that students gain not only knowledge but also 21st-century skills – critical thinking, collaboration, and creativity.
Our international environment together with intensive English instruction opens doors to the world and prepares children for a future without borders.
Innovative
We use modern pedagogical approaches and methods. One example is CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning), which combines subject teaching with intensive instruction in a foreign language (in our case, English).
Individualised
Our programme “A Step in the Right Direction” is based on differentiated instruction respecting pupils’ talents, aptitudes, and interests, enabling them to reach their full potential.
Interactive
We place strong emphasis on active pupil engagement. Through diverse activities, projects, and discussions we develop critical thinking, communication skills, and collaboration.
