If CFBL were a pupil, it would have just graduated from CFBL, ready to spread its wings and embark on new adventures!
Fifteen years after opening its doors in 2011, our school has grown, evolved and matured, developing a distinctive personality of its own.
As we look ahead to the next 15 years of CFBL's story, we'd like to take a moment to look back at how far we've come, celebrate what makes our school special and thank the people who have helped shape it along the way.
Eight months, eight themes
Throughout the 2026–2027 school year, we're celebrating the four facets of our identity and four core values that make CFBL who we are today.
On the 15th of every month, we'll introduce a new theme, exploring it through school projects, everyday moments, memories and stories from across the CFBL community.
And on the last day of each month, we'll hear from parents and alumni about what that particular aspect of CFBL means to them.
Here's what's coming up:
November – Unique
December – Kindness
January – Ambition & Excellence for All
February – Open to the World
March – Bilingual
April – Responsibility & Solidarity
May – Dynamic
June – Creativity
First up: Unique
We begin with one of the things we're most proud of: what makes CFBL different.
There's our beautiful listed Victorian building in the heart of Kentish Town, home to CFBL since 2011.
There's our close-knit, family-like atmosphere: a special place to learn, grow and feel at home.
And there's our particular focus on the collège years. With no lycée, these formative years get our full attention in secondary. Our oldest pupils have room to grow in confidence, take on responsibilities and receive the individual support they need during this important stage of their development.
In November, we're celebrating what makes CFBL unique: its history, its distinctive character and, above all, the people who bring it to life.
On 30 November, we'll hear from parents and alumni about what makes CFBL special to them.
Save the date: Saturday 19 June 2027
Our anniversary year will culminate in a big community celebration on Saturday 19 June 2027, bringing together the people who have made CFBL what it is today.
Parents, pupils, alumni and staff, past and present: you're all invited!
We'll share more details in the coming months, but for now, please save the date.
Here's to 15 wonderful years, and to the next 15!
