Thinking of a French primary school in London for your child? We thought it might be helpful to share our experiences.
Our three children have been going to the Ecole Francaise Jacques Prevert , the older two have successfully moved on to the French Lycee in London Kensington and our youngest one is still at Jacques Prevert.
We believe that Jacques Prevert is a little gem in the London market of international independent schools! It was rated "Outstanding" by Ofsted in 2011 and 2018, in all categories. It's a relatively small school with only 2 classes per year group, and about 20-24 pupils per class, which provides a caring friendly environment, in which children flourish.
It's a French school located in Central / West London (postcode W6 7BE), in a lovely residential area. They teach the French curriculum, but a large proportion of pupils there are bi-national, with many different international backgrounds. The school has recently overhauled its English department and the English curriculum, which is taught on top of the French one, is ambitious, with some pupils successfully applying to leading 11+ independent schools when they leave Jacques Prevert.
The school's fees are the very competitive compared to most independent international schools in London, at c. £2000/term - really good value for money for parents interested in an international education for their children, I think?
Finally, parents are very involved at the school and run pro-bono a very large choice of extra-curricular activities, from judo, handball, rugby, football to Zumba, chess, computing, cooking etc.
