Classes

The organisation of classes is similar to that of the French educational system ("Pré-Petite Section", "Petite Section" and "Moyenne Section"). The classes number are smalls (between 6 and 16 children depending on their age). Teachers divide classes into small groups of children whenever activities are appropriate.
​Activities are always planned around a topic (e.g. science, music, emotions, people who help us, etc.) in order to make learning more tangible and fun.  Outings are organised on a regular basis (theatre, museums, farms) to illustrate class-based learning.

-  "   La Pré-Petite Section "  - PPS (2 - 3 years old)

- "   La Petite Section  "   - PS (3 - 4 years old)   

-   "   La Moyenne Section "  - MS (4 - 5 years old)

​- PRE-PETITE SECTION (2 to 3 years) - full time or part-time
Preparatory class for the "Petite Section" (PPS), the first year of the French nursery school programme. The PPS educational programme is aimed at facilitating a child's transition from home to the school environment.
The teacher : child ratio is 1 for 4 children of 2 years.

- PETITE SECTION (3 to 4 years)   - MOYENNE SECTION (4 to 5 years) - full-time only​
Classes of "Petite Section" and "Moyenne Section" follow the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum, close to the  French curriculum.
The latter establishes 7 main learning areas:

•  Communication and language
• Physical development
•  Personal, social and emotional development
•  Understanding the world
•  Literacy
•  Mathematics
•  Expressive arts and design

 Daily activities children are engaged in are focused on perfecting skills within these 7 areas of learning.   The teacher : child ratio is 1 for 8 children.
 Finally, all children aged 3 and 4 receive a grant of around £ 900 per term.
