Frequently asked questions
Does my child have to continue in the French system?Julie Fanjeaux2021-12-03T13:49:59+00:00
After Grande Section (Year 1), all pupils have a guaranteed place in a French primary school (See our sister school, L’Ecole de Battersea). Children can also switch to the English system.
Are you a nut-free school?Cylia Rousset2021-11-25T15:53:16+00:00
No, but we encourage our pupils and staff to avoid bringing food containing nuts onto the premises.
Is the school uniform compulsory?Cylia Rousset2021-11-25T15:46:38+00:00
Yes, even that we are a French school, we have adopted the British custom of wearing a uniform (Please see Uniform).
Does my child have to pass an exam to get into the school?Cylia Rousset2021-11-25T15:45:28+00:00
No, except if pupils join us at primary age and are non-French speakers when we assess their level. This is not an entrance exam and does not prevent the child to join the school.
Can my child still register even if they don’t speak English or French?Julie Fanjeaux2021-11-25T15:42:10+00:00
Yes of course! L’Ecole des Petits is a non-selective school which proposes adapted classes according to your child’s language level.
