I am delighted to send my best wishes to all the staff and students at Gybon from my home in Lytham, England.
Usually at this time of year I am looking forward to my annual visit to Gybon. It is always a pleasure to teach a number of English lessons at the school. The standard of English of students of all ages is always impressively high and I am warmly welcomed by Jan Šterba and all the teachers.
This year because of the Covid 19 pandemic my visit will have to wait until the autumn. At that time too I hope that it will be possible to have the presentation for 2020 travel awards.
The British Ambassador in Prague, Nick Archer, has told me that this will be a priority in his diary and he will present the prizes to the three winners, Heřman Dušek, Eliška Saifrtová and Magdaléna Poleňhová, and certificates of achievement to all the entrants.
I am glad to hear that Gybon has reopened in part for the maturitá students and send my good wishes to them in particular for every success at this stressful time.
Stay safe and be strong, everyone !

2020 marks twenty six years of unbroken partnership between the Lytham Schools ( now AKS, Lytham ) and the Gymnázium Boženy Nĕmcové (Gybon) in Hradec Králové, the principal city of eastern Bohemia in the Czech Republic.

For all this time this partnership has been the only one between senior schools in the UK and the Czech Republic.
In October 2019 Lytham students travelled to the
International Science Seminar in Hradec Králové which has taken place annually since 1997. AKS will host the seminar in Lytham in the autumn of 2020.

In 2020 three Gybon students will travel to the UK as winners of travel scholarships, funded principally by former Lytham staff.

My thanks to Jan Šterba, the staff and students at Gybon for making my recent visit so memorable.

Especial thanks to Pavel Adámek who made all the arrangements for my five day visit and to Ludĕk Absolon and his hard-working department for their warm welcome.

I very much enjoyed the opportunity to teach English to nine of the classes, and was very much impressed, as in previous years, by the enthusiasm, attentiveness and high academic standard of the students.

  I tried hard to explain to everyone what the UK will do now about Brexit, but the answer remains “Nobody knows”!

It is 25 years now since my visit to Gybon, at the invitation of Vladislav Král in 1994.  It was excellent to see that Gybon continues to thrive and that the good behaviour of students and  the friendly atmosphere in the school is exactly the same.

It was very interesting  also to visit the castle at Kost for the first time and to have such comfortable accommodation at the Hotel pod vĕži where Mr. Vacek and his staff made me very welcome.

I look forward now 2020 when there will be the fourth travel competition for Gybon students, enabling three prize winners to travel to England.

Details will be published in September.

My best wishes to all teachers and students for your summer holidays soon!
