Company activities and impact

Les Poussins(Milton Keynes) CIC is a school offering 2.5 hours of French tuition for approximately 30 weeks per school year to bilingual children living withing around 30 miles of Milton Keynes. The company was registered in August 2015. It is a requirement that the children who join Les Poussins speak French at home. The school welcomes numerous British families who have lived in a French-speaking country and whose children have been in French speaking schools and who want to maintain their level in French by attending lessons. The lessons are open to all children from 18 months to 18 years of age. We are proud to help families arriving in the area from outside the UK to integrate in the local community. We organise regular social events with the group, and also attend events within the local community. (i) We delivered regular lessons to an average 100+ children from French speaking country; (ii) We help our students willing to prepare for DELF B1 and B2. We help them to be ready for the diploma. The diploma can be very valuable to students who want to have the option to join the educational or academic system in a French speaking country; (iii) We welcome our former students as assistants - this help them to strengthen their skills and to have work/teaching experience; (iv) Despite a complex year due to COVID restrictions, when it was legally possible and safe to do so, we have invited the families to join events and meetings as a way for families to meet each other and to build a network of friendship and support; (v) Though the access to the library was very limited this year due to COVID, we run a library, offering the families and students the ability to borrow French books providing access to materials enabling then to develop their culture. We attend regular meetings with other supplementary schools in the Milton Keynes to exchange ideas, best practices and training.

Consultation with stakeholders

The stakeholders are the families who bring their families to the school. New Families are looked after by a designated member of staff - The integration officer - who ensure that the children are placed in the class the most appropriate for their level. Regular communications remind families of whom to contact for extra information on their child's progress, and the teachers are always available at the end of a class to discuss with Parents. The school has adapted in many ways to online tools to allow to maintain tight communications with the families during the COVID period. Directors and committee members interact with the families attending the school during social events and occasional coffee mornings. We also have newsletter, social medias, and feedback form for families to stay aware and express their opinion on the direction of the school. We often recruit our member of staff from with our ranks, and trained teacher support less experience teachers with their lesson preparation and delivery. Training with local providers is offered to support all teachers. Teachers are also involved in the selection of the teaching resources. We repeat a satisfaction survey with out families that showed that they are overall very happy with the quality of the teaching and would like the Poussins to continue its activities. We are continuously reviewing our teaching methods, looking for improvements in order to keep our students engaged and learning whilst having fun.
