Our objective: providing a French education with a strong focus on English learning
The Ecole Française de Londres Jacques Prévert is a primary school that has received the approval of the French Ministry for Education (école conventionnée). Its curriculum adheres to the principles, programmes and pedagogical organisation of the French school system. The school’s offer is also consistent with the demands of the British school system, in particular through the in-depth teaching of the English language for all year groups.
French Education Nationale programmes ensure pupils acquire fundamental knowledge and skills, creating a common knowledge base. That base is built on five main pillars:
- Language to think and communicate
- Methods and tools to learn
- Development as a person and as a citizen
- Natural and technical systems
- Representations of the world and human activity
The conformity of the school’s curriculum is verified regularly by an AEFE National Education Inspector based in London.
In France and across all AEFE network institutions, teaching programmes are divided into stages.
