Schools in France

Primary schools in France are quite different to schools in England. Their days tend to be longer - a typical day might be from 8.30 til 4.30. French schools do, however, tend to have a longer lunch break (up to 2 hours).

Until recently, children had to go to school on a Saturday mornings. This was instead of a Wednesday afternoon, when school was closed and children generally used this time to do sport and leisure activities. Nowadays, however, many schools do their required hours in just 4 or 4 and a half days, in which case they close for part or all of Wednesday. Three days off a week - what do you think of that?!

French children learn subjects similar to us. Here is a list:

le français - French
l'anglais - English
les maths - maths
l'histoire - history
la géographie - geography
l'art / le dessin - art
le sport / EPS* - sport / PE
la musique - music
l'informatique - ICT
les sciences - science
les travaux manuels - craft, CDT

* This stands for 'l'éducation physique et sportive

In general, state schools in France do not teach RE, as the state is totally separated from religion. Also, children in primary schools in France don't have school uniform - they can come to school in their jeans, T-shirts and trainers! Schools in France have a longer summer holiday than we do in England - typically they finish at the beginning of July, and return when we do at the beginning of September to start the new school year.

Where would you prefer to be at school - in England or in France?
