List of UK schools teaching Japanese

Primary, Secondary and Sixth Form

Click here to see the list as an Excel file.

This list includes all UK primary schools, secondary schools and sixth form colleges that are teaching Japanese (both state schools and independent schools). It includes schools that are teaching Japanese outside of the curriculum, for example as part of a Japan club, or in preparation for an exchange trip to Japan. This list does not include schools teaching Japanese only to native speaking students.

This list is produced and managed by the Japan Foundation London Language Centre. It builds on the results of the 2006 Japan Foundation Survey of Japanese-Language Education. The list aims to give an accurate, up-to-date picture of Japanese language teaching in UK schools and to help teachers and coordinators of Japanese develop stronger networks. However, it is necessarily a work-in-progress, and we are very grateful for your help in keeping it up-to-date. If you want to add or delete your school, or change your school’s details, please email info.language@jpf.org.uk.

Abbreviations: AC = Academy, CY = Community School, FD = Foundation School, IND = Independent, VA = Voluntary Assisted, VC = Voluntary Controlled
