Primary school supplies 2024 – 2025

At primary school, all school supplies and textbooks are provided by the school. Families therefore only need to provide for the purchase of the student’s personal equipment (schoolbag, pen kits, coloured pencils, felt-tip pens, etc.). For everyone’s comfort, this equipment should be kept in good condition and replaced whenever necessary.

In cycle 3 classes (CE2 to CM2), the purchase of a personal dictionary for home use is strongly recommended (see suggestions in the list for each level).

Students must bring these supplies to school on the first day of term.
