"I really enjoyed my time at the Saturday morning class. It helped expand my vocabulary and improved my grammar, which resulted in getting a better grade on my French GCSE results. It was also nice to reconnect with some old classmates from previous years of attending the school."

"For us the day release system in the French school is the perfect balance to progress both reading and writing in French, in parallel to an English education. The teaching methods of L'École Française de Bristol are closely allied to the English teaching methods, which allows the children to progress fluently in both without different styles contradicting each other. To allow out-of-school parental support, the lesson content is provided each week and keeps us up to date with aspects of the language that are worthwhile practising. The teachers are good at motivating the children with weekly book lending, themed exercises, exchanges with schools in France, regular visits by parents to discuss culture and books…"

"Our kids love going to EFB. Their French has improved massively since starting. The teachers are incredibly caring and knowledgeable. The drop offs and pick up are always lively but calm. The wider community of parents have also created long lasting friendships. We moved to Bristol for this school and don't regret it one bit!"

"Both our kids really enjoyed their year in Maternelle at L'École Française de Bristol and enthusiastically used French at home within a few weeks of starting. The educational team establishes a strong caring bond with the children and offers a structured programme of fun activities around several themes per term. They also enjoy long play times and activities outdoors, as well as physical development indoors (Yoga, obstacle course). The team instils a strong sense of security and encourages developing independence and autonomy in daily tasks. All the staff are warm and approachable and give daily feedback and regular “Spotlight” meetings to discuss our child’s development. Above all, our son can’t wait to take his lunch box and walk through the door each morning!"

"Both my children have gone through the toddler group Les Bambins. They absolutely loved the weekly sessions, and as a parent I really enjoyed meeting other French speakers. By the time my eldest was due to go to Maternelle, she was so familiar with the school and super keen to go. The transition was really smooth!"
