The German Saturday School Hackney Community Interest Company (CIC) provides lessons in German language and culture to children aged between 4 and 15 years old, and beginner and intermediate German classes for parents from Hackney and neighbouring boroughs in North London. Pupils come from local families where at least one parent speaks German and whose children grow up bi-lingually. The families who attend the school and those engaged in teaching at the school, are part of the German-speaking community in Hackney and surrounding boroughs. The school aims to provide a positive and supportive environment in which local families can develop their German skills both within a school setting and through cultural events organised by parents and teachers from the school. The school rents premises from a local primary school, the Gainsborough Primary School. In the year to 31. August 2025, the school taught an average of 100 students across nine classes. It engaged 9 teachers and 8 assistant teachers. The teaching programme was overseen by a Headteacher.
The CIC’s stakeholders are local families of dual heritage (British or other, combined with German, Austrian or Swiss heritage) who have an interest in upholding their German identity and introducing their children to it. The school holds yearly Annual General Meetings to update parents and teachers about their activities and to inform them and to receive feedback from them about the running of the school, the curriculum, the learning atmosphere and social events for parents during the school morning. The school also maintains an informal weekly feedback loop between the parents, teachers and school management to ensure that any issues or matters of concern can be identified and responded to quickly.
One director of the school, Ulrike Hensel-Burg, is employed as the Head Teacher for the school. She received £12,800 in remuneration from the school for her work as Head Teacher. There were no other transactions or arrangements in connection with the remuneration of directors, or compensation for director’s loss of office, which require to be disclosed.
