On Wednesday, 4th December, Mrs. Wood, Mme Gaillard, and Mme Dubois, along with Aurora (6FE), Solomon (6FE), Leo (S6), Sophie (S7), and Natalie (S7), proudly attended a ceremony at the French Embassy to meet Queen Camilla and Madame Brigitte Macron. The event celebrated the Entente Littéraire Prize (Prix de l’Entente Littéraire), a UK-France literary prize for young adult literature. This award commemorates the 120th anniversary of the Entente Cordiale, the 1904 agreement between the UK and French governments that strengthened bilateral relations.
During the ceremony, held alongside the Lycée Churchill, two students read an extract from a nominated British book, translated into French, Le livre Bleu de Nebo from Manon Steffan Ros aloud in front of cameras, Her Majesty, the First Lady, ambassadors, notable French and British writers, and film directors.
We were immensely proud to witness our students confidently speaking French with Mme Macron. They truly earned their petits fours!
