Secondary School in Le Dorat/Montmorillon/Bellac

Bellemarian writes in Families & Kids

Hello, I was wondering if anyone could help me regarding a secondary state school in the Le Dorat area.  My daughter is 11 in November, we are in the process of buying a house near Adriers, and we would hopefully take a year out in France.  Any information gratefully received.

Hi there, we live in Adriers and have 3 children aged 5, 9 and 13.  My eldest goes to college jean moulin in Montmorillon and i must say it is a fantastic school with an awful lot on offer, whatever their interests. Pm me for more details, if i can help i will.

Hi there,

My family are moving to Montmorillon in July and are looking out for any help to get settled. We have three children 10,5 and 11 months and will obviously need to put them into local schools. Can we choose which primary school they go to or are they allocated a place? to whom do we report to get a school place? The kids speak no French  - do they receive extra tuition in the language at school or should I be organising private tuition?

Any and all advice would be most welcome - vive la France

L'isle Jourdain. It's 10 minutes away from you. A lovely quiet town and the school's good too.

The children will settle in and learn French. We moved here ten years ago with our three boys who were 9 and twins of 8. They had no extra French but picked it up. The primary was very average but the secondary school was excellent . The twins are at Lycee now and enjoying life here although sadly our older boy alway wanted to go back to the Uk so lives there now.

Good luck.........I hope you have work though as it is very hard to make a living here........we aren't rich but we are happy.
