Jeannine Manuel School

London, Camden, Greater London · WC1B 3DN

A bilingual education sits at the heart of this independent London school, where French runs through daily life and pupils work towards the International Baccalaureate rather than conventional GCSEs. Founded in 2015 in Camden, it is a medium-sized, mixed school of around 690 pupils, with a notably generous pupil-to-teacher ratio of about nine to one. Just under ten per cent of pupils receive SEN support. Inspected by the ISI and led by Head Mrs Pauline Prévot, it offers entry at age 11.

Teaching & academics

The school follows the International Baccalaureate, so the published Attainment 8 and GCSE figures of 0.4 and 0% are not meaningful measures of its results and reflect the fact that pupils do not sit standard English GCSEs. French is central to the curriculum, making this a natural fit for families seeking a genuinely bilingual academic route. The low pupil-to-teacher ratio of around nine to one points to small classes and close attention.

The last word

A French-English bilingual school built around the IB rather than GCSEs - distinctive, and best judged on those terms rather than standard league tables.
