As we commence a new year, we wanted to take a moment to share some exciting news and reflect on the remarkable achievements of our school community over the past year. Your ongoing support and commitment to our shared vision have contributed to the positive and nurturing environment we strive to create at The Old School.
We are delighted to announce that our school continues to be a place where students flourish and are genuinely happy and content. The dedication of our teaching staff has played a pivotal role in fostering this supportive atmosphere. Their unwavering commitment to the success and well-being of each learner is truly commendable.
In the realm of academics, we are thrilled to report that the 2023 academic standard at our school has been exceptionally high. One outstanding achievement worth celebrating is in Business Studies, where one of our students secured the highest grade at the A-levels in all of Europe. Another remarkable accomplishment, was in Modern Foreign Languages, specifically French, where a student earned the highest grade in the Republic of France. These successes stand as a testament to the professional support and dedication that each learner receives from our exceptional teaching faculty.
At The Old School, we firmly believe that every child matters, and over the past year, we have expanded our Special Educational Needs provision. This growth is a testament to our commitment to providing an inclusive and supportive environment, where all young people can grow and thrive. We take pride in celebrating the unique strengths of each student and tailoring our approach to meet their individual needs.
Furthermore, our school has become a hub for wider community support, fostering positive relations with both the local French inhabitants and British residents. The collaborative efforts of our school community were recently highlighted at the state visit of King Charles III to France during the Franco-Britannic festival. Our school's representation at this prestigious event, supported by the British ambassador, reflects the strides we have made in building positive relations that strengthen community cohesion.
We want to express our gratitude for your continued partnership in the education and growth of our students.
Wishing you a Happy New Year!
Warm regards
Joel and Danièle and the whole team at The Old School
