La Petite Ecole Française has made notable progress since its last inspection and currently meets all the independent school standards that were assessed. Following the appointment of a new headteacher in September 2022, key weaknesses identified previously, such as the need for a behaviour policy and consultation with parents on the relationships education policy, have been addressed effectively. The school’s leadership has shown responsiveness and commitment to improving the educational environment.
