Pupils at school in Wandsworth have done as well or better in French exams than French children

Over the last four years, students at a school in Wandsworth have had their school week divided so that half of the week they were taught in French and the other half they were taught in English.  This is due to a partnership with a school inFrance who is also trialling this idea.  The students who started at the age of four, are now eight and have completed the French national tests for this age group.  Results have shown that the students taught in England have received results higher that the students in France, which proves their great understanding of the language.  These results could be used as part of a future model for other schools to allow students to learn languages from a much earlier age.
