I am French and a long time lurker on MN. I discovered it when I was living in the UK and, as I was quite isolated, it was my source of information for a lot of British things.
After 3 years in the UK, we decided to relocate to France (mainly because of the uncertainties that appeared with Brexit) and we are now in Angers, Loire Valley.
We decided to register our 8 year old DD in a School that had a good program for languages, especially English because DD really loves English and considers herself “French-English” (After 4 months here, she still plays in English and speaks English naturally at home).
Among other things, her new school had an exchange program for pupils in Y5 (here it is “CM2”) with a school in the UK / South-East England. This program started in 1994 and every year French 10-11 year olds would spend a week in the UK and vice versa.
This year, the English coordinator decided to leave the school and the English School then decided to stop the exchange program she had been organising for the past 24 years.
Now my DD’s new school is looking for a new partner school for this exchange program, and it seems quite complicated to organise, and this is when I thought I would ask you, wise mumsnetters!
Does anyone have experience on how to find a primary school in the UK willing to participate in an exchange program with a French school?
