Entretien avec Pauline Prévot dans l’Echo Magazine
“En dehors de ses excellents résultats, qu’est-ce qui fait la renommée de votre école? Son ouverture et les valeurs sur lesquelles elle est bâtie, ainsi que l’épanouissement de nos élèves qui développent ici leur autonomie et leur esprit critique !”

Our students’ work published in the Printemps des Jeunes Auteurs
“From an early age, all children are taught to share. Parents teach siblings to share. Teachers model and support sharing among classmates at school…Faced with the idea of sharing the planet, our young authors have looked at the simple – sharing with a friend – and the complex – sharing resources across borders.”
This year, the theme for Ecole Jeannine Manuel’s 8th edition of the Printemps des Jeunes Auteurs was “Sharing our Planet”. We are extremely proud of the ten students from our school whose texts were included in the publication.

Un immense bravo aux collégiens et enseignants qui ont participé au concours de la Flamme de l’Egalité organisé par l’Education Nationale pour promouvoir la recherche autour du thème de l’esclavage. Leur projet, un récit du Chemin de Fer Clandestin raconté sur Twitter, a été retenu pour une rubrique spéciale sur le combat mené par les femmes alors qu’elles étaient esclaves. Le jury a notamment salué “la grande originalité du compte Twitter créé, la mise en relation de l’histoire de l’esclavage, et la mise en avant de personnalités historiques” au sein de leur projet. Bravo à tous !

Joint Year 11 forensic science project comes to a close!
September 2018: a ‘murder’ is committed within the walls of Ecole Jeannine Manuel in Paris. Following the discovery of the body, a team of Year 11s from our schools in London and Paris are tasked with identifying the culprit! After nearly nine months of close scientific collaboration with their Parisian peers, our students headed over to Paris to close the case.
Since September, pupils had been using forensic techniques, such as fingerprinting, blood typing, Henssge Nomogram or hair sample analysis, to whittle down the original list of 15 suspects. Throughout the year, students in Paris and London worked together to collate data from their experiments and reach conclusions. By early June, the number of suspects had been reduced to three and the students travelled to Paris to carry out the final stage in their research together. Using DNA Gel Electrophoresis to analyse DNA samples recovered from the crime scene, they were able to clearly identify the killer.
For Science Teacher Mr Smyth, “this project was an excellent opportunity for Year 11 pupils to become familiar with some of the forensic techniques used in crime labs around the world, and to collaborate with students at Ecole Jeannine Manuel in Paris.”
