French-speaking primary schools outside London?

Hi, I'm looking for schools that teach in English and French outside London. We'll be returning from France to England next summer. DD1 is currently at French school and will be 5.5 when we return, ie going into Year 1. She's bilingual and we're keen not to lose her French.

I've been looking for French-speaking primary schools outside London and have only found the Europa School (successor to European School) at Culham, and a school in Bristol. I'd love to hear any experience of the Europa School as we're seeing it as best option at the moment. And is anyone aware of other schools I've missed?

I've posted the same qu in the languages section. Thanks very much.

Hampton Court House school is bilingual. It is on the old Greater London border.

Thank you, it looks a lovely school but I don't think we could afford it!

There is the school too.

Maybe you could try the French consulate and see if they can provide you with a list of schools.
