The Curriculum
French and English bilingual teaching, blending the best of French and British curriculums. A unique approach that cultivates linguistic and cultural fluency. By the time our pupils leave school, they are not only bilingual in language but also culturally – a lifelong asset.
Games and the Arts
Sports and arts are part of the curriculum. Weekly fencing, ballet, music and visual arts, and history of arts classes taught by teachers specialised in their field. The school takes part in many inter-school events.
Pastoral Care
Our school stands out for its steadfast commitment to pastoral care, creating a nurturing environment that prioritises the wellbeing of each child and member of staff. Our dedicated team places great importance on instilling timeless values, fostering a positive and family-feel atmosphere where pupils not only excel academically, but also embody traits of respect, kindness, open-mindedness and responsibility. Friendship Day, anti-bullying workshops, caring and sharing boxes and e-safety measures are implemented throughout the year.
Headteacher’s Philosophy
My aim is for every child to be happy at school. Pupils are at the centre of their own learning but also part of a community. We encourage everyone to progress at their pace. It is important to aim for the top but also to look back on past achievements.
