Kingsworth is a small bilingual British school in central Paris running the English National Curriculum alongside French, leading to IGCSE and A Level via Pearson Edexcel. Primary is bilingual French-English, secondary is mostly English-medium.

External sources put the founding around 2014 rather than blank. NEASC-accredited. Fees range roughly EUR 15,900 to EUR 25,600 a year. Students come from over 40 nationalities. The text-based curriculum across primary leans into reading, discussion and reduced screen time. Secondary students sit five core IGCSE subjects in years 9 and 10, then A Levels in years 11 and 12.

Parents describe a tight, family feel with highly engaged teachers and strong pastoral care. The small community is the main draw and the main caveat. Children who want a large peer group, full British sports programme or extensive electives will find the offer narrower than at the bigger Paris names. Best fit for families wanting a British IGCSE and A Level pathway in a small, personal setting in central Paris with meaningful French integration in primary.

  • Bilingual primary running 50% English and 50% French through full immersion, with the English national curriculum and the French national curriculum side by side.
  • Parents describe a small, family-feel community where "everyone knows everyone." Quiz nights, Christmas fairs and wine-and-cheese parent meet-ups recur in feedback.
  • Pastoral care and individual attention are the dominant strengths. One parent flagged the "highest standards of pastoral care and academic achievement."
  • Teaching staff are praised as dedicated and child-focused; reviews describe teachers caring about each child individually rather than running standardised classes.
  • Independent signal volume is light: a handful of directory reviews and the school's own alumni page. No substantive Reddit, Mumsnet or expat-forum thread surfaced.
