From August 2024 To July 2025

Charity name: Association des Parents d’Eleves de l’Ecole Bilingue

Charity registration number: 1152406

Objectives and Activities

SORP reference
Summary of the purposes of
the charity as set out in its
governing document		 Para 1.17 The objective of the Association is to
promote the education of students in the
School by:
Allowing parents to discuss together all
topics that involve the interests of their
children at School
Developing effective relationships between
school management, staff, parents and
others associated with the School by
ensuring parent’s views are represented
Informing parents of any educational issues
regarding the school as well as secondary
schools in the French and English system
in London
Fundraising to provide goods and services
to support the School and the education of
the pupils
Organizing social and educational events
for parents and pupils to build and maintain
the school community
Organizing after school clubs to enable
children to progress in sports, arts and
extra-curricular activities.
Summary of the main
activities in relation to those
purposes for the public
benefit, in particular, the
activities, projects or
services identified in the
accounts.		 Para 1.17 and
1.19		 The aim of the association’s activities is to
bring benefits to as many children as
possible in the school. We make sure that
each class can benefit from the APEB
investment. Our main activities running
throughout the school years are the after-
school clubs. Secondary activities include
Galete de Rois, Tea Towels and year-end
outing.
The after-school clubs enable children to
engage in sports and arts activities thus
advancing their education and

complementing the school’s curriculum. Clubs are attended every week by 100+ pupils. They take place between 4pm and 5pm Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Wednesday, and 1-2pm on Wednesday just after the end of the school day. The clubs are run at the low cost. After school club fees cover the costs of hiring the premises (when needed) and the instructors’ fees as well paying the supervisor for the clubs who also help transition kids from the lessons to after school clubs. All the children attending a club need to be covered by an insurance policy provided by CGEA. The Galette de Rois initiative helps to keep the French traditions and have been appreciated by the families. The tea towels initiative engages kids artistically to draw self-portraits and makes wonderful Christmas presents or a souvenir to keep for the families. APEB is also actively involved in joint discussions with other parents association from French bilingual schools. Lastly, we held the year-end outing providing a more relaxed atmosphere for parents and teachers to connect.
