Congratulations to our 9F students for their DNB results

The end of semester 1 is always intense for the year 9 French Binational students as they formally sit their Diplôme National du Brevet as if they were in French school in France. It is a great pleasure to report that all our candidates passed this French examination with success with 80% granted an award and 1 in 3 candidates with a mention Très Bien (scores over 80%). 

DNB is a diploma, which conclude the middle school years College in France and serve as a marker of achievement for students before they start their final years of secondary schooling. If half of the points needed to pass is based on school assessed work, the final formal examinations in French Literature, Maths, Science and Humanities are a big step to undertake. In that sense the ‘Brevet’ is a fantastic way to recognise and celebrate current achievement whilst giving a taste of what it is sit a formal examination. So well done to our 2024 cohort for tackling this milestone and learning a lot about themself in the process. A huge thank you to the teachers who contributed and supported the students along the way. Parents be reassured we are already working with them for the next step of their learning journey in French and beyond.
