Lycée Français de Londres Revenue and Competitors

The Lycée Français Charles de Gaulle is a French co-educational primary and secondary independent day school, wholly owned by the French Government and situated in South Kensington (London). It also includes three primary school annexes: André Malraux (Ealing), Marie d'Orliac (Fulham), Wix (Clapham). The Lycée caters for some 4,000 pupils between the ages of 3 and 18 and teaches predominantly in French. An important centre for London's sizeable French community, it is one of the most academically successful French schools outside France. Its curriculum and management are overseen by the French National Ministry of Education through the Agency for French Teaching Abroad (AEFE). In addition to serving the French community in London, 9% of pupils at the Lycée are British, placed in the school by parents wanting their children to benefit from a bilingual education. The Lycée has a proud multicultural and international mix of pupils, with over 50 different nationalities. The vast majority of the teaching at the Lycée is in French, according to French curricula; and up to the Quatrième class (at the age of 13/14), all pupils are taught entirely in French. From troisième onwards (equivalent to Year Ten or freshman year), pupils can opt either to stay in the "French Section"”‹ and study for the Brevet and the Baccalauréat, or to transfer to the "British Section"”‹ (64 students per year) and work towards GCSEs and A-levels. The British Section has had a very good reputation and excellent results since it began. On December 6th 2016, PISA published excellent results after assessing 26 students of the Lycée. éducation, formation
