As an English speaker whose French is limited to ordering meals and buying train tickets I was cautious about joining CFBL, but motivated to support my son's French. I  - and he - could not be happier here: his French is excellent and he is supported by a truly bilingual, approachable team who ensure that I never feel out of the loop.

Striking a fine balance between the high expectations of a French education and a more rounded approach, this small school in the heart of Kentish Town is cherished by families for its vibrant cultural and super bilingual environment. Bravo!

CFBL has enabled my two daughters to achieve their full potential in secondary; between kindness and firmness, this school has found the right balance to give our children confidence in the future and a thirst for learning.

We are leaving our “home of learning” with a heavy heart, but we are happy that CFBL turned out to be everything we’d hoped for, with all the qualities necessary to our children’s progress and well-being.

And above all, our children are happy to go there every morning.
