Admissions

École Jeannine Manuel welcomes non French-speaking students at all levels and helps them adapt to the demands of a bilingual curriculum. The school also welcomes beginners in English up to Year 7 (US 6th grade) and leads them to a high degree of oral and written proficiency in both languages.

Our admissions committee reviews each application with care and a view to achieve the cultural diversity that is in line with the school’s pedagogical project. We admit students who will benefit from an enriched, bilingual, bicultural curriculum and whose parents embrace the school’s mission of international understanding and are deeply invested in the education and well being of their children.

Admissions for 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 are open

Procedure & Information

Please find information on our procedures and the admissions process below.

Application Form

To apply you must complete the online application.
For each applicant you will need to upload:

  • Picture
  • Birth certificate
  • School reports for the last two years and current year when available (except for Nursery, Reception and Year 1)
  • Letter of recommendation about the family
  • Co-signed authorisation if parents are divorced or separated

To submit the application, a non-refundable application fee of £200 is payable via Paypal or bank transfer.

Speech Assessment

For entry in Year 1, Year 2 and Year 3, we ask for a speech therapist evaluation to ensure that an oral and written dual-language curriculum is suitable for the child. This assessment can be provided by the speech therapist of your choice and should be completed in the child’s native language.

A list of speech therapists based in London is available upon request (admissions@jmanuel.uk.net).

We recommend that the speech assessment is done in person, however, we also accept speech assessments which have been done online.

Jeannine Manuel’s premise was that “learning a foreign language is, by itself, important; it is also a means to better understand others, to be able to think like them—it provides access to the world.”
