L'École Française de Bristol continues to support its French-speaking pupils, and other fully bilingual children, during secondary school through its Saturday morning class: Français Langue Maternelle Secondaire. The class is also an opportunity for pupils to renew ties with their former classmates and our school community.
Our Year 7 and Year 8 pupils continue to develop their speaking and writing skills, deepening their knowledge of French grammar, conjugation and vocabulary as well as their listening and reading comprehension. When pupils are ready (between Years 9 and 11) and in agreement with their secondary school, they have the opportunity to prepare for French GCSE exams.
Taught by a native-speaking French teacher, the class runs every Saturday in term time from 9:30 am to 11:30 am.
"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."
