- Half a term is the minimum enrolment period.
- The weekly two hour lessons are held over three terms, as per the local schools.
- Reading, writing and conversation are all covered.

How to enrol
Step 1: contact Tom King (details below) to check that there is room on the course you wish to follow. Numbers are limited in order to keep class sizes small so this step is essential.
If you are not sure which class would suit you, Tom will be able to guide you.
(Your teacher Alain may suggest you move up or down a level after the first one or two lessons, once he has had a chance to assess your language skills.)

French lessons coordinator
There was some tragic news on Sunday 6 August 2017: Tony Bushnell, who was in the process of taking on the rôle of coordinator, was taken ill and then passed away later that day.
Our heartfelt condolences are offered to his wife Juliet, and all his family and friends.
Tom King has kindly agreed to step back into the job until a new coordinator can be found.
