Cities / London / École Française de Londres Jacques Prévert

École Française de Londres Jacques Prévert



  • A small, community-oriented French primary in west London with a strongly positive parent voice. One parent told the Good Schools Guide the school "is a gift right on my doorstep". A second called it "a little gem in the London market of international independent schools".
  • Parents credit teachers for instilling a "desire to learn" and preparing children efficiently for selective British 11+ onward routes; pupils have moved on to leading independent schools.
  • The setting matters to families: a Brook Green location overlooking the park, in a building parents describe as part of the appeal. Parental involvement through committees and the board is high.
  • An ambitious English curriculum has been overhauled to run alongside the French one; reviewers see this as a pragmatic answer to families straddling French and British onward education.
  • Ofsted rated the school Outstanding at the June 2025 inspection, citing exemplary behaviour, strong reading and mathematics, and pupils who feel safe and well looked after. Public parent trackers outside Ofsted hold no first-hand negative voices.
