Nicolae Iorga School
Romanian School “Nicolae Iorga” Birmingham is our project that wants to bring the Romanian language, culture and traditions closer to every child.
At the Romanian School, children learn to write, read and speak Romanian. In addition to these, the children will have creative circles of music, dance and crafts, participating in celebrations and learning Romanian traditions: Martișor, Easter, Santa Claus, Santa Claus, New Year, but we are not limited only to these.
The “Nicolae Iorga” Romanian School in Birmingham helps parents to maintain the Romanian language. It is well known that a child who learns multiple languages makes faster connections and develops a better memory, which leads to better results.
We are waiting for your children to come here!

Meet The Teachers
Name : Laura Elena Suna
Position: Teacher at Școala Românească Nicolae Iorga Birmingham
Mrs. Laura-Elena Sună is from Iași, Romania and has over 20 years of experience in education, both in the UK and in Romania. She has been succeeding for some time to bring this experience to fruition at the “Nicolae Iorga” Romanian School in Birmingham as Teacher.
Her approach to the educational act is based both on the conclusions drawn after 12 years of teaching English and Romanian in Romania, and over 9 years in the British educational system, but as well based on the study of second language teaching techniques (the target language) from her Master’s and Doctoral studies carried out by her on this topic.
Name : Mariana Plamadeala
Position: Coordonator of Școala Românească Nicolae Iorga Birmingham
Mariana Plamadeala is from Ialoveni, Republic of Moldova and has over 8 years of accumulated experience in managing communities and community projects. In 2018, in Birmingham, when she heard more and more often – children from Romanian families who spoke only English to each other – she decided to make a change.
Thus she ended up laying the foundations of the R.U.D.A association in 2019, and in 2020 – to open the “Nicolae Iorga” Romanian School Birmingham which has an integrated method of teaching the Romanian language. Together with Professor Laura-Elena Suna, for 2 years now they have been able to create successfully a community so necessary for the school alongside the parents who guide their children towards everything what Romania means. The school program is created by the Teacher with the support of the Coordinator and with the consultation of the other Nicolae Iorga schools in the UK.
