Did you know?
Founded in 2011 as part of the AEFE network of French schools abroad, Collège Français Bilingue was established to meet demand for a bilingual French–English education in London. Pupils typically move on at 15 to Lycée International de Londres Winston Churchill or Lycée Français Charles de Gaulle.
Our takeaway
A small and distinctive school offering a genuinely bilingual education within a close-knit community. Academic expectations remain firmly rooted in the French system, but the atmosphere feels noticeably warmer and more pastoral than some French schools. Families value the bicultural environment and strong sense of belonging, though the model works best for pupils who are comfortable operating confidently in both languages.
"CFBL delivers to its pupils the best of the French schooling culture, whilst paying specific attention to their well-being, personal development and teamwork."
