School Governance

 

The Anglo-Portuguese School of London is the first school belonging to the Multi-Academy Trust: Talent Education, opened by a group of professionals and educationalists all of whom are committed to the principles and benefits of bilingual education.

The school also has the backing of the Camões Institute, the Portuguese Embassy in London and the Portuguese Ministry of Education. We are grateful for the sponsorship and support of Talent Group which is providing significant support to help us realise our ambition.
