A French School Rooted in Greater Manchester
Didsbury is known for its independent spirit, leafy streets, and strong community feel. Around five miles south of Manchester city centre, it blends village charm with city convenience. With Fletcher Moss Botanical Garden nearby and a thriving independent high street, it is a place where families invest in enrichment and education.
You can even find a touch of France locally at La Chouquette, Didsbury’s own French artisan bakery, which brings authentic pâtisserie to Manchester. That same love of French culture is what we bring into our classrooms every Saturday.
We are not a distant tutoring platform. We are a local academy teaching real families from:
- East Didsbury
- West Didsbury
- Withington
- Burnage
- Chorlton
- Northenden
- Fallowfield
When parents search for ways to learn French in Didsbury, they are often looking for something more than vocabulary lists. They want confidence, culture, and quality teaching. That is exactly what we provide.

Meet the Founder, A Real Parisian Perspective
Our founder, Shazia Munum, was born and raised in Paris. French is not simply a subject she teaches, it is part of who she is.
Her passion for education, combined with lived cultural experience, allows children to learn natural pronunciation and authentic expressions from the very beginning. Lessons include real-life context, traditions, stories, and songs that make the language meaningful.
We believe children deserve more than textbook French. They deserve to experience the language as it is spoken and lived.
Conveniently Located at The Barlow RC High School, Didsbury
Our Saturday French lessons take place at The Barlow RC High School, Parrs Wood Road, Didsbury, Manchester, M20 6BX.
Operating from an established and respected local secondary school provides families with a professional, safe, and structured learning environment. Parents feel reassured knowing their children are learning in proper classrooms within a well-known educational setting rather than in temporary or informal spaces.
The Barlow RC High School is positioned in a highly accessible part of Didsbury, close to Parrs Wood entertainment complex and within easy reach of East Didsbury and West Didsbury. The school benefits from strong public transport connections, including:
- East Didsbury Metrolink stop
- East Didsbury train station
- Multiple bus routes along Wilmslow Road and Parrs Wood Road
This makes drop-off and pick-up straightforward for busy families travelling from surrounding areas such as Withington, Burnage, Chorlton, Northenden and Fallowfield.
For families driving, the school is easily accessible from the M60 motorway and main South Manchester routes, which is particularly helpful for parents combining Saturday classes with weekend errands or activities nearby.
