The school requires pupils to wear school uniform (from Reception). Based on the English standard uniform, the uniform is appropriate and comfortable and helps to give children a sense of belonging to and pride in the school community. Uniforms can be pre-ordered online using the click-and-collect system, and the Uniform Shop is open every Tuesday and Friday from 08:30 to 09:30.
The school offers a hot lunch service provided by a local French restaurant. There are three grade-specific lunch sittings at 11:45 AM, 12:15 PM, and 12:45 PM. Unless parents have subscribed to that service, children can bring packed lunches; snacks may be provided; fizzy drinks and chewing gum are not permitted.
The school is a non-profit institution founded in May 2002.
