The Team

Our team is made up of highly qualified native French-speaking professionals with specific experience of working with bi- and multilingual children. The school’s dedicated staff have created a warm and caring environment where each child is supported to develop their French language skills to the best of their abilities. 

The headteacher is Hortense Dournel-Fauvet.

The school benefits from the support and expertise of an advisory board (comité d'école). Made up of five trustees as well as parents and local francophiles, the advisory board assists the school’s leadership in the areas of strategic planning, monitoring and finance.

The Chair of the Board is Nicolas Hatton.
