Tamil Classes

London Tamil Centre conducts its classes at Wembley High Technology College, East Lane, North Wembley. In line with other school calendars, our academic year consists of three terms starting from September, January, and April each year. In addition to conducting classes in Tamil Language and Fine Arts, we encourage the children to participate in extra-curricular activities by organising sports and other events during the term as well as holidays. We currently have approx. 450 children are studying Religion, Tamil language, and Fine Arts. The school benefits from the services of more than 15 language teachers and more than 25 fine arts teachers. The admission process for new students starts with the issue of applications at the end of May for the prospective students beginning their education in September of the same year.

9.00 – 9.30 AM – Religion Our typical Sunday school session starts with Religious classes at 9.00am attended by just over 100 students. There are five dedicated teachers who primarily concentrate on the teachings of Hinduism and Christianity, although basic knowledge of other religions is also imparted. Students take active part in religious competitions conducted by other external organisations.

9.30 – 10.50 AM – Tamil Language : As teaching Tamil as a mother tongue is one of the primary objectives of the London Tamil Centre, Tamil language lessons remain at the heart of the School’s activities.

We offer Tamil classes for children from toddler age through to GCSE and Advanced Level (A/L). Our approximately 20 experienced and proficient teachers deliver lessons in accordance with the School’s syllabus, which is structured to prepare students for GCSE (O/L) and A/L examinations conducted by the Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) board. Currently, Tamil language classes are provided free of charge for children under five years of age.

Adult Classes During the Tamil Language classes for the children, parents are offered the opportunity to learn and refine their fine arts skills. Keyboard classes are also available for both.

11.05 – 12.00 AM – Assembly The school holds a multi-faith Assembly and encourages the children to exhibit their talent in speech and drama. We also invite special guest speakers. We offer regular advice on safety to both students and their parents. The Assembly promotes our culture, mutual respect and discipline among the younger generation.
