Our school campaigns are also proudly supported by the Greek community network in the UK  ‘’Greek List’’ and ‘’Greeks in London’’ Facebook group. Mr Avgoustinos Galiassos, founder and managing director , as well as, Ms. Maria Chatziaslani, co-founder and marketing director decided to support our school’s aims after they visited us in April 2021 and had the chance to meet our amazing children.

'Greek List' is an expanding network of Greek businesses and individuals who are active in the Greek community, and reside in or visit the UK. Mr Galliassos created the network to link up Greek businesses and professionals with Greek residents and visitors and in doing so promote the Greek community spirit.

‘Greek List’ is widely considered the go-to place for all Greeks in the UK for their information and collaboration and more can be read on them at www.greeklist.co.uk

Hellenic TV

Hellenic TV is the only Greek language television channel in operation, outside Greece and Cyprus. It was created in 1990 to serve London's growing Greek-speaking community and became the first non-English language TV channel in the UK.

The channel has since expanded rapidly and in 2006 became one of the first Greek TV channels on the Internet, extending its reach worldwide. The arrival of digital technology then enabled the group to launch multiple Greek channels.

The Hellenic TV platform now has 2.0 million viewers worldwide and a total of 50 Greek channels including London's HellenicTV1. It also has partnerships with RIK and SIGMA Cyprus, as well as with Greek National TV broadcaster ERT.

St Cyprian's Primary Academy is delighted to welcome the generous support of Hellenic TV. We would like to thank Hellenic TV director Mr Chris Fellas and manager, Mr Giorgos Lingos, and all their journalists and producers for the continuous support and for covering our school assemblies and all our school initiatives.
