L'Ecole de Battersea | ISI Report, Reviews, Fees & Admission 2027

Created in 2005, L’Ecole de Battersea offers a rigorous French-English bilingual education, taking the best of both systems, delivered in a warm, family environment and small class sizes. Often called by parents “The most British of the French schools in London” it opens a choice of future pathways in the most prestigious French, British or international secondary schools.

The school thrives at igniting children’s passion for learning, helping them excel in both academic and personal growth. By learning two languages, pupils develop a true bicultural fluency. They speak, write, and embrace French culture, while remaining deeply rooted in the country they live in. This educational journey prepares them to thrive in an international world.

L’Ecole de Battersea is perfect for families seeking a broader, more balanced education, blending the rigour of the French curriculum and with strong Anglo-Saxon educational principles. Small class sizes of 18 to 20 maximum pupils ensure that each child receives personalised attention and tailored support.

Parents love our multicultural, vibrant and close-knit community where a family feel pervades. Every staff member knows every child, which fosters a strong sense of belonging. Most children speak more than two languages. It captures everything you’d want from an international school without being huge.

Our core values - Curiosity, Achievement, Friendship, Open-mindedness, Respect and Resilience - guide us in everything we do to prepare children to face the future with confidence and kindness. We also encourage our pupils to embrace a good sense of humour and fun, to make every day brighter!

Pastoral care and wellbeing are the school’s priorities and greatest strengths. They truly lie at the heart of our approach. It creates a safe, welcoming environment where every pupil feels supported and valued. This commitment is evident in the happiness and sense of security you can feel.
