Prestigious French high school Charles-de-Gaulle in Kensington, London, has received the worst possible rating from Ofsted, the British education authority.
The school, which has more than 3,000 students, has a rather good reputation in France. But the British inspectorate gave it the worst rating this year, pointing out the teachers’ pedagogy as the institution’s Achilles heal.
Although it boasts a 100% success rate at the baccalaureate, its teaching methods and overall pedagogy are being questioned by the Ofsted.
Published last January, the British report gave the school an “insufficient” rating, the worst possible grade the authority allows.
Only 8% of the UK’s secondary schools are doing as badly as the French mission.
“Teachers do not systematically check that students have fully understood what they are being taught,” the report laments.
The report also finds that the school also shows shortcomings on non-academic issues.
“Leaders do not alert official agencies quickly enough when child protection violations occur,” Ofsted highlights.
This announcement is causing concern and incomprehension within the school, whose tuition fees are up to 10,000 euros per year.
But worries have gone beyond continental Europe’s borders, now raising questions among Moroccan parents with children enrolled in popular French schools.
Across Twitter, Moroccans are now questioning the quality, pedagogy and overall reputation of Morocco’s French mission schools.
