A black student has claimed she was called 'monkey' and suffered years of racist abuse at a £17,000-a-year private school in London favoured by the Parisian elite.
Lycée Français Charles de Gaulle, in ritzy South Kensington, is run by the Agency for French Education Abroad, with day-to-day supervision overseen by the French embassy in the British capital.
The Lycée is the educational establishment of choice for the mostly white Parisian professional class, including senior figures in the worlds of banking, diplomacy and academia, The Times reported.
Scattered across multiple locations in London, the school charges fees of up to £16,923 a year for day pupils.
Writing in the school's newspaper this week, Gabrielle, a sixth-form pupil described the sustained racism she had experienced while studying there.
