Enrolment criteria

In order to join Les Petits Ecoliers, your child must

1. have a French-speaking parent, be exposed to French daily, or have lived in a French-speaking country enough time to be able to understand and speak French (see information on the entrance test below);

2. be at least 3 years old at the start of term in which they start at Les Petits Ecoliers.

​

Entrance test

To assess the child's abilities in the French language, we organise an entry test. The test is adapted to the age of the child and lasts about 20-30 minutes. For younger children, it might involve a simple listening task (e.g. matching pictures to what they hear) or a simple oral task (e.g. describing where they went on holiday). For older children, it might also involve a writing task. 

This test allows us to decide if the child has the level required to join Les Petits Ecoliers, to place them in the right class and to better understand the use of French within the family.

Enrolment process

1. Please complete the Enrolment Form (by clicking on the button below).  

2. Please also pay the administration fee of £20.
   The administration charge is non-refundable, even if the child's ability in French is not sufficient to join the school, and is additional to the school fees. Payment details are on the enrolment form.

3. Once both the form and payment have been received, we will then contact you with available dates for the entry test. We usually organise 2 dates each term.
