Children are very happy at this school. They become confident individuals and can speak two languages by the time they leave the school. The relationships between the staff and the children are excellent. Staff show great care for the children. Children respond readily to the adults’ instructions. Behaviour is exceptional. Children are highly motivated and interested in all aspects of the curriculum. They participate in class discussions in English and French. We saw children identifying foods with high amounts of salt or sugar and learning about the effect of tooth decay, using their French. Teachers demonstrate high expectations and ensure that the children speak sentences using formal grammatical conventions in both French and English. Leaders and staff take great care to keep children safe. Children said that if any child upsets them they expect the child to apologise. They have great respect for each other. The school’s silver star programme rewards groups of children who have shown collaboration and teamwork. The school is a cohesive community. The overwhelming majority of parents and carers are very happy with the school. One parent commented: ‘This (school) is really the best the French and English system can offer: with a big focus on academic learning, while helping to grow children’s confidence.’ This view was typical of many parents. Inspectors also agree.
