Headteacher’s welcome
Welcome to Tip Toes Primary Prague on Říčanská Street! Our school is set in the calm, charming surroundings of Vinohrady villas, which gives learning and school life a warm, almost family atmosphere. We are a smaller school where every child feels safe, respected and supported. We care that school is a place children look forward to — to their classmates, teachers and to discovering new things every day. Thanks to smaller classes we can give each child individual attention and support their full development.
We have modern classrooms, including a robotics room and an art studio. Pupils also make full use of our outdoor playground in lessons and free-time activities. In addition, we offer a wide range of clubs that nurture creativity, cooperation and personal talents (e.g. LEGO robotics, chess, basketball, floorball, street dance, and music lessons in cooperation with a local arts school right on our premises). In Tip Toes’ bilingual environment, children naturally learn in Czech and English, discover their strengths and gain confidence that carries beyond the classroom.
Our pupils take part in national assessments — Scio tests (Years 5, 7 and 9) and competitions (Mathematical Kangaroo, Logic Olympiad, Pythagoriad). In English they sit international exams — Year 4: Key for Schools (A2), Year 6: PET (B1), and Year 8: FCE (B2).
Our aim is to educate versatile, open-minded young people prepared not only for the next stage of education, but also for life’s challenges. I look forward to our shared journey with you and your children.
With respect,
