I just moved to twickenham and need to find the best way of bringing my children to french school in Fulham. Does anyone have any suggestion? OR do the transport themselves for their children?
Also would love to hear from any French parent in Twickneham.
Thanks

We have friends in SW13 whose kids went to l'Ecole des Petits (my nephew and neice also went there), they drove every day....they didn't enjoy it, but felt it was worth it.

Bit further from you, though - sorry, not much help!

Thanks very much, it is very helpful. I think i will give it a try (driving or perhaps train), not sure yet.

De rien Smile

You could try both ways, to see?

Je crois que c est ce que je vais devoir faire.
Did your nephew and niece like the school?
Thanks

They did. Louise - my neice - was happiest of the two, my nephew had trouble with a couple of the boys there (he was teased, he's a gentle little soul) and is less inclined to enjoy homework than his sister. But overall, he was fine. My sister in law (who is French - moi, juste half French et j'ecris tres, tres mal meme si je parle courrament!) and brother were happy with it. They met some lovely people there, although I believe there was also a cliquey crowd - much the same in most schools!

Good luck, hope the journey works out for you.

I live in Barnes and I am trying to find a family who is going to Fulham/ Parsons Green from there. Please let me know if you know someone. Regards

hi Jane, I live in Barnes but my children are in a local school (I am bilingual, but dh is English and we opted for local friends and an easier commute!). The people I know here who have children in French school have three boys, one of whom is probably still at l'Ecole des Petits in Fulham, the others will be in Battersea. They are friends of my SIL's, I don't have their contact details.
Is there anything specific you would like to know (I can ask), or are you looking for car-sharers?

Hi has anyone got information on l ecole des petits? In particular wanted to know about their school clubs: if they run daily and if parents need to collect and bring the child to the club after school or does it all happen in the school and parents can just pick them up later.
Many thanks
Katie
