In primary school, when our students are in Spanish, Music, Basque, etc. classes, we make the class tutors available to meet the specific needs of other students. In this way, we free up a volume of more than 150 hours of teaching per week that we can use in various ways: One of them is specific support work for one or more students: the freed teacher intervenes in a class to give support to a specific child or a very small group within the classroom. When the needs of the student require it, there are two documents that are the basis of the specific work to be carried out, as well as allowing fluid communication with the families about these objectives. PPRE: (Acronym in French for: Personalised Educational Success Plan) When the difficulties are punctual, the tutor writes this document that allows him to highlight the student's strong points and the difficulties in a specific point of the curriculum. The necessary interventions and the evaluation after the weeks that said intervention lasts are proposed. This PPRE is built with the student and family to turn it into a kind of support contract. PAP: This Pedagogical Adaptation Plan is necessary when dealing with more serious difficulties, such as learning disorders. With the help of the school psychologist, the family is guided towards a professional diagnosis of the difficulties in order to implement a long-term Pedagogical Adaptation Plan that is re-evaluated every year. It is about putting all the available resources and adaptations at the service of the student. This official document covers all school ages and is mandatory for all teachers at the school. The adaptations are varied and can range from the use of adapted material to reducing the duration of exams, oral adaptation of tests, etc. As it is an official document, official tests such as the BREVET (Graduado escolar), BACCALAURÉAT (EvAU) or the different language certifications are always adapted to these specific needs of the student. This system applies to any type of specific need. So, even highly gifted students can function at their age level but taking into account their specificities. Skipping classes is a possibility but is not necessary for us to adapt to them.

Yes, there are 4 cafeterias with their own kitchen assisted by a nutritionist and a total of 344 places. The dining room is mandatory. More than 6 menus are designed each month, so that the meals are adapted to the nutritional needs of the students. Our school has obtained the SUSTAINABLE DINING ROOM certification, which certifies healthy eating and takes into account environmental protection. Through this demanding quality seal awarded by AENOR, the French Lycée of Bilbao is part of a select minority of national schools that respect the 7 challenges facing the planet, such as the selection of ecological suppliers and items from local producers. Special care is taken to prepare balanced and nutritious menus. The surplus generated is minimal and the packaging is recycled. The eco-delegated students have played a fundamental role in obtaining this distinction by proposing activities that sought to encourage more responsible behavior among all students.
