Formed in 1987, the school is run by a dedicated and passionate group of parent volunteers.  At La Petite Ecole, children aged 3*-16 years old with a least of native French speaking parent can improve their confidence in and enjoyment of French in a fun and educational setting.

​

Our classes have between 8-10 children and are organised by age and the French level of the children. Our small classes create a supportive atmosphere where pupils can gain confidence in speaking with other children, guided by professional teachers.

​

Since 2016, LPE has also introduced new classes for older children in order to prepare them for the DELF A2, B1 and B2 

​

Our lessons have lots of student participation through a number of activities (games, songs, stories, reading, crafts) whilst also increasing their reading skills, vocabulary and grammar. 

Children also learn about France and the French-speaking work through their culture, geography, history and traditions. 

​

French becomes not just something that happens at home, but a relevant part of the outside world!

​

Classes take place during the school year on Tuesday afternoons online between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. in sessions of one hour per class in reduced numbers to encourage student attention, or in person teaching on Saturday mornings between 9:15 am and 1:30 pm in the premises of St Georges School, per session of two hours per class.

​

La Petite École is a place to have fun, practice French and make new friends, for children and parents alike.
