Saturday school in Bushey
Gujarati language classes for children
A greeting for a grandparent, a rhyme to sing together, a story to read aloud. Our Saturday Gujarati classes in Bushey give children ways to use the language at home from their earliest lessons.
Where beginners start
In Bal Gopal, our youngest learners sing rhymes, play games and practise words for people, colours and things they recognise. In Gopal, children begin to pair letters with sounds and use Gujarati to ask and answer questions about their own families.
From speaking to reading and writing
Children move from recognising vowel signs and building words in Krishna to reading short passages and describing their lives in Sahadev. Later classes use stories and festivals to practise writing paragraphs, and topics such as holidays to try out different tenses.
For older pupils, Bhim and Yudhishthir develop listening, speaking, reading and writing through exam-style activities, translation and longer texts. Read about our Pearson Edexcel GCSE Gujarati pathway.
Saturday times and enquiries
Gujarati runs from 9.00 to 10.00 am on term-time Saturdays at St Margaret’s School in Bushey, near Watford. After a short break, children join their Hindu Dharma class. If your child already speaks Gujarati at home, tell us what they enjoy and what they would like to learn when you enquire.
