La Petite Ecole Française

Information and Communication Technologies

The French Ministry of Education is keen to develop ICT (Information and Communication Technology) skills at school. For primary schools, the aim is to use technology as a tool to aid learning and to help the pupils pass the B2i test.

La Petite Ecole Française has 20 iPads and a teacher who is dedicated to developing and implementing ICT projects on Fridays. The school also has 2 video-projectors, an apple TV, a Coding Robot and 10 BBC Micro Bits for coding sessions. This technology software and equipment allows each class to use ICT for learning projects.

PEF pupils are currently – depending on the level of the class – working on a multitude of projects. These include: numerical books, video montage, coding, dynamic geometry sessions, fine motor skills activities, counting and phonics activities. The development and outcomes of all projects is regularly posted on the school blog.

The CE2, CM1 and CM2 pupils are also taught about E-Safety and how to use the Internet and digital technology in a safe way. Please read our E-Safety policy for more information.

Kind Words from our Parents

Parents and children alike love the school, and here are some of their thoughts.

Our two daughters Sophie (15) and Charlotte (10) have been pupils at la PEF from PS until the end of CM2, from September 2010 to July 2022. We were part of the first few that saw the opening of the primary school and have always been delighted with the high level of education and teaching provided. La PEF is one of the truly bilingual schools in London with both English and French native speakers. The focus on the individual students is possible thanks to the relatively small classes at la PEF and this enables a smooth transition to the curriculum of the secondary school – in the case of our eldest Lycee CDG in section internationale. Also given the extraordinary times we lived the last couple of years during the numerous lock downs, the PEF really stepped up to the challenge and were amongst the first schools in London to offer continuation of lessons online. With this important achievement during such formative years of our children, the PEF will remain with us in fond memory and we will always be delighted to recommend la PEF to future students.

Our sons have been with La Petite Ecole for the past 5 and 2 years respectively. We’ve always been extremely happy with the standard of education and learning. With smaller class sizes, the school offers the best care and attention to the children’s individual needs to learn and grow. There is a real sense of community in the school and after these fundamental years in their development, the children from the same age group become like a family, which is lovely to see. As a Franco-British family, we truly value that whilst being a French school following the French curriculum, there are also positive influences from the English system from empathy to a positive approach and encouragement to learning.

I feel very blessed to have had my 3 children in this wonderful school for now 12 years. The small classes and attentive teachers combine to help children flourish, both academically and personally. The lovely and friendly atmosphere has also helped foster close and genuine friendships that will probably last my children for life.

One of the best schools in London: education, management, teachers … Top quality.
