TAR

The purpose of Les Petits Bilingues de Newham is the advancement of education for the public benefit by providing French speaking and non-French speaking children from the ages of 3 to 16+ living in East London with lessons in French and other activities outside mainstream education to help:

Those with an existing connection with French language, culture and heritage maintain this connection in the UK and with their extended families in their countries of origin.

Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document

Bi-national families who are either settled permanently or temporarily in East London and whose children do not attend French educational establishments meet their needs and values through the provision of French cultural support with a focus on improving the children's language skills, confidence and self-esteem, which in turn will have a further positive impact on their literacy and speaking skills.
Parents and children of Newham eager to develop such skills easily access such language learning facilities without having to travel long distance.
Achieve these purposes using non-traditional and playful teaching methods aiming at creating an atmosphere of fun, engaging students’ creativity in their learning and practice of French language
