The Lycée Charles De Gaulle has been an integral feature of French life in the UK's capital since 1915. In that time it has built up a reputation for academic excellence and for nurturing generations of young people with an attachment to France and the French language. There are 3,450 pupils, spread over the main site and our primary schools: École de South Kensington, École Marie d'Orliac (Fulham), École de Wix (Clapham) and École André Malraux (Ealing).
The school offers various curricula leading towards public examinations. The majority of students follow the French curriculum (The brevet and baccalauréat) with consistent outstanding results. Typical success rates are 100% for the Brevet with over 74% honours and 100% for the Baccalauréat (67% honours).
But, It has never been an exclusively French school. Children from the UK, the international community as well as the Francophone world, anyone in fact who recognises the unique qualities of a French education, have always formed a part of our school community.
Our British section is a popular option for parents who want to combine the best of British education with a French touch. The students follow a British curriculum, sitting GCSEs and A-levels, while benefiting from the cultural and intellectual depth of a French educational environment, from Year 10.
Students don't have to be fluent in French when they start but we're confident they'll be bilingual by the time they leave. Last year, more than 70% of our British Section students went onto a Russell Group University. The British Section stands as a gateway to global opportunities, equipping students with the skills and perspectives to thrive in an interconnected world.
Our principal Mme Bellus affirms, "We're proud of our tradition of excellence and of being a place of innovation and diversity where students can learn about the contemporary world in a caring and supportive place."
