L'École Bilingue Élémentaire
School summary
Tucked into Westminster, L'École Bilingue Élémentaire is a small French-English bilingual primary, founded in 2004 and home to around 121 pupils. The intimate scale shows in a pupil-to-teacher ratio of roughly 10 to 1, well below what many larger schools manage, which allows close attention to each child. As an independent, ISI-inspected day school led by headteacher Veronique Ferreira, it offers a genuinely cross-cultural environment for families drawn to a French-language education in central London.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, distinctly French-English school in the heart of Westminster, suited to families who want their child immersed in two languages from the start.
That’s where Passmate comes in. Tutoring is the most effective thing in a child’s preparation - a well-tutored child can outperform the vast majority of their peers. Passmate works alongside your tutor, not instead of them: it learns how your child thinks, finds the gaps, and shows the tutor exactly where to spend each session - so the limited time you have lands on what actually decides a place.
Works alongside your child’s tutor - not instead of them.
