The German Saturday School C.I.C. normally provides 2 hours of face-to-face lesson in German per week during school terms to German-speaking children in and around Cambridge. During the Covid-19 lockdown, while face-to-face lessons were not allowed, the school offered some 1 hour lessons via the Zoom online video conferencing platform. The aim of the school is to support the children in their learning and use of the German language. The school fosters a positive attitude towards the cultures from all German speaking countries and provides the children with a sense of normality of growing up in a multi-cultural environment.The German Saturday School Cambridge is part of the German-speaking and other bilingual communities in Cambridge. In particular, it allows children who have outgrown the German playgroup and pre-school to continue to broaden and strengthen their German language skills.During the face-to-face period of September 2019 to March 2020, the school had about 76 German speaking children on roll in six classes. Their ages ranged from 6-14. During the online lessons, 49 children took part.The children in the German Saturday School Cambridge have advanced their German language skills, including oral understanding, speaking, reading and writing. They have experienced typical German customs for festivals such as carnival, Easter, Nikolaus and Christmas. The older children have also learnt about some German regions and modern history and studied some German books and films.
The most important stakeholders of the German Saturday School Cambridge C.I.C. are the children enrolled at the school and their parents. Generally 1-2 directors are present at school drop-off and pick-up for parents to talk to in person. There is also a dedicated email address, which is constantly monitored, as a first point of contact for all electronic communication. The director responsible for enrolment consulted parents of prospective students, those wishing to change classes, or for any other issues raised. Another group of stakeholders are the teachers. A director dedicated to teacher support held consultation and planning meetings with the teachers. Requests regarding technical facilities and movement of pupils to other classes were fed back to the board of directors for their next meeting.
The following are not directors’ remunerations but are disclosed here in the interest of transparency:One director received a total of £1,050 for invoiced administration work regarding - management of the school roll and up-to-date lists of children's and parents' relevant details - management of the waiting lists for enrolment - supplying information and organising trial lessons for children/parents interested in joining - coordinating supply teachers and voluntary parent helpers - sending out reminders to parents and forwarding teachers' emails to their class's parents - coordinating the taking of registers to monitor attendance - answering any other external communicationOne director received a one-off £50 for extra work reimbursing parents for lessons cancelled due to lockdown.One director attended a training event by the Association of German Saturday Schools for which the school paid the training fees of £30.
