L’ecole de Battersea (Ages 3-11)

A primarily bilingual school, L’Ecole des Petits encourages pupils to be fluent in both French and English by the time they leave. The school houses more than 30 nationalities and it’s not only destined for pupils with French ties.

The international flavour is very evident at L’Ecole des Petits where personal development is as important as academic excellence. Parent-school relationships are distinctive at the school since parents are to be in open communication with the school in regards to their child’s needs and evolvement.

A particularly international school, L’Ecole des Petits offers a great variety of extra and co-curricular activities for the families to choose from that mainly involve culture, art and sports.

The school is “homologuée” and follows the French National Curriculum combined with certain elements of the English Curriculum. Children are involved in French and English subjects and languages every day of the week.

It’s important to note that the school also tries to accommodate, where possible, new pupils arriving during the year and at various stages of their primary education.

Newton prep school (Ages 3 to 13)
