Outings

We organise several outings a year for each class. Outings are related to projects that the class is working on and to develop cultural, artistic or scientific skills.

Past trips have included London museums such as the Natural History Museum, the Science Museum, the Design Museum, the National Gallery, Wetland, Tower of London as well as cultural tours in London. All outings are conscientiously planned by the teacher with the help of the host organisations. In December, each class enjoys a festive Christmas outing to see a theatre show.

Parents are invited to join in the fun, though they have to confirm their interest in advance to the teacher as the number of places is limited.

School Trip

We firmly endorse the profound impact of educational excursions on social, personal, and emotional growth. The opportunity to explore new environments serves as a catalyst for mental and emotional development, equipping students with essential life skills and bolstering their sense of independence and self-confidence. That’s why our CM2 take part every year to a residential trip away for 3 days.

Our expedition takes us to the picturesque landscapes of Norfolk, where an outdoor adventure camp awaits. Tucked away amidst serene natural surroundings, this idyllic setting provides the perfect backdrop for immersive learning experiences. Here, students embark on a journey of collaborative exploration, fostering bonds of teamwork and camaraderie as they navigate through a diverse array of activities.

From high ropes courses to orienteering challenges, students are immersed in a dynamic curriculum designed to ignite their sense of adventure and resilience. Through kayaking on tranquil waters, scaling rock walls, and navigating obstacle courses, they not only enhance their physical abilities but also cultivate invaluable traits such as perseverance and determination.

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.
