Exploring the English National Curriculum


on the French Riviera From the Early Years to University Excellence


James Wellings, Head of School In conversation with Fiona Murchie


CONSIDER A LOCAL SCHOOL? In short, maybe at primary level. The French system’s ‘écoles publiques’ offer free secular co-ed education from pre-school to senior school and follow the national curriculum set by the Ministry of Education. These schools are


usually characterised


by conventional teaching methods and have high academic standards. Sports and creative activities are not usually included in the curriculum. There is also provision within the


French state system for international students who are taught parallel to standard classes in their own language in a ‘lycée international’, with an inclusive programme to help non-French speakers. “We mainly deal with British


and American families and around 20–30% of them choose to go to local state schools, especially when they relocate outside Paris,” says relocation consultant, Kattin Lopez. “When the children are young, many families decide to go to local state schools, but less often when the children are older. At a secondary level, students with no previous French education would struggle.” Expat families are more likely to


choose one of the country-specific international schools in France, including English, American, German, Spanish and Japanese. Fees are higher, but they offer transferable curriculums and there are no language difficulties.
