English 31 was founded by parents of English language pupils in 1981 working for British Aerospace to give students weekly English lessons to let English-speaking children progress through the French school programme. Nowadays Airbus is the major sponsor as English 31 integrates many children from the company’s expatriates. For more information please consult English 31’s website: https://www.english31.org/ .
