Welcome to La Petite Ecole Française
La Petite Ecole Française (est 1983) is a bilingual school with a reputation for excellence. It is a nurturing and homely environment in which children thrive. We pride ourselves on our small class sizes and personalised approach to teaching.
Headteacher Camie Steuer says “We believe that every child is an individual with unique talents and our intention is to create an environment that allows the child to flourish academically and creatively.”
We strive to develop confident and happy children.
The school is Homologated (special accreditation from the French ministry of Education AEFE) and our pupils can progress onto French or English schools. Our wonderful parent community is International and includes Non-French speaking families.
Why Bilingualism matters: It is now widely believed by Neuroscientists that being bilingual exercises the brain and improves concentration, problem solving skills, memory and creativity. The best time to learn another language is at childhood, when the neural networks are being built in the brain. There are huge long-term benefits to bilingualism, such as a delay in the onset of Dementia.
Free Early Years funding (15 or 30 hours/week) for all pupils under 5 years old, unless fees are paid by employer or Bourse.
