The year will carry on with the same COVID restrictions until further notice.

We have restarted the monthly bake sales which will be restricted to the students from “La Grande Ecole”. The library is also open but only for students on a fortnightly rotation. Thanks for ensuring that children bring back their books, otherwise they won’t be able to take out any other ones.

Beaconsfield/Burnham MP visit

Our school had a special visit from Dominic Grieve Beaconsfield/Burnham MP. Please click here to access the Maidenhead Advertiser news article. A copy of the article is also provided below:

Attorney General Dominic Grieve visits bilingual school

The Attorney General paid a visit to the 1.2.3.Soleil bilingual school at Desborough College in Maidenhead on Saturday.
Beaconsfield MP, Dominic Grieve, was given a tour and met with pupils at the part-time French school, which is attended by about 200 children from bilingual families every Saturday morning during term time.
1.2.3. Soleil chairman Sophie Ward said: “Dominic’s visit is very important as it gives our project recognition and demonstrates to the children that being truly bilingual is a real asset in life.”
The visit was organised by South Bucks District councillor Paul Kelly as part of his involvement with the twinning of Burnham with the French village of Saint Denis de l’hôtel.”
