Values and Vision

École Jeannine Manuel shares its Parisian sister school’s pedagogical principles. With the motto “International understanding through a bilingual education", it was formed on the basis of developing bilingual education from as early as nursery-school level.

It bases its curriculum around children's natural creativity and desire to learn. Its approach to education involves introducing children to a basic set of skills as well as teaching them to think critically and boost their self-confidence.

Ofsted

“The headteacher’s leadership and vision have ensured that the school is thriving and providing a good education for pupils. The school promotes pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development very well. Pupils particularly enjoy creative and cultural activities, which have a positive impact on their personal development. Skilled leaders have ensured that the best of French and English provision has been successfully combined.”
