It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
Uniform is compulsory for CP through 4ème; the uniform includes blue jeans without holes or decorations, a white polo shirt (long or short sleeves), a navy blue sweater with the school insignia and the child's name, blue socks, and black school shoes, plus a color-marked parka with the name. CP–4ème also wear an official school sports uniform. From 3ème to Terminale there is no uniform, but students must dress neatly and in a manner that respects laïcité and political/ideological neutrality. Sanctions for non-compliance can include an oral warning, a letter to parents, or detentions (1 hour midweek, 2 hours midweek, or Saturday morning).
A monthly menu is published to offer students a balanced and varied diet; the menu of the month is shared with families and updated monthly.
