Lycée International de Londres Winston Churchill is an independent school serving students from the ages of 3 to 18 and an independently funded non-profit charity.
As such, we do not receive any subsidies from the French, British, or any other governments.

All profits are fully reinvested to further improve the learning experience for our students.

Financial Aid
1 - AEFE Financial aid for French citizens
1. For French Citizens who are eligible for the “Bourses Scolaires” from AEFE
Since the opening of the School, our families have been subject to a cap on financial aid offered by the AEFE’s “Bourses Scolaires”.
The Head of School and the Board, supported by APLIL, have been working diligently with the French authorities to improve the situation for our families seeking financial assistance.
The Board unanimously decided to start a financial aid scheme from September 2022 for students benefiting from the “Bourses Scolaires”.
The school will automatically provide additional, proportionate funds to complement the amount received from the AEFE.
For example, from September 2022:
● Students who receive 100% “Bourses Scolaires” will have no fees to pay
● Students who receive 80% “Bourses Scolaires” will be responsible for 20% of the full LIL fees
● Students who receive 15% “Bourses Scolaires” will be responsible for 85% of the full LIL fees For more information, please contact cfo@lyceeinternational.london
2. For all families eligible for financial aid
LIL families may apply to the French Scholarship Foundation (FSF) for financial aid. With the implementation of the new financial aid scheme and the close collaboration between FSF and the School, FSF will be able to provide more assistance to families not eligible for the “Bourses Scolaires” from the AEFE. For more information, please contact team@fsfoundation.org.uk
2 - The French Scholarship Foundation (FSF)
FSF is an independent charity which offers financial assistance to families with pupils at Lycée International de Londres Winston Churchill and Collège Français Bilingue de Londres (CFBL). Having recently benefited from a kind donation, FSF can now broaden its actions to help pupils continue their education at those schools.
We hope this contribution will encourage many to make a donation on the FSF website: www.fsfoundation.org.uk/how-you-can-help/. Your gift, regardless of the amount, will enable other families to give their children access to quality education.
Families from both schools with financial needs may submit an online application at the following address: www.fsfoundation.org.uk/how-to-apply/.
The Foundation handles all applications in an impartial and confidential manner. Please check the financial assistance policy on the FSF website.
