About Sauveterre
The children are the responsibility of, and in the care of Mr Neal Bailey (Directeur of Sauveterre) and his boarding and teaching staff for the duration of their time at the Château. They follow the rules, dates, arrangements and syllabus offered by the Château in line with all the other children, whether they are from Cothill or from any other school.
Through the château, pupils are offered a wonderful opportunity to improve their written and oral French, as well as to develop personally and socially by acting as guests and hosts whilst living in a foreign country. The fine weather, delicious food and small numbers ensure that each individual maximises his chances to grow academically and socially
Schools from within the Trust are encouraged to make suggestions and to ask for certain requests, but in general, all decisions are made by Mr Bailey, regarding the welfare and education of the children. Members of staff from the Trust schools are encouraged to take an interest in their pupils’ term in France, and are very welcome to visit. The start of term is an ideal time for a member of staff from a Trust school to visit Sauveterre. In this way staff are able to keep in touch with children’s academic progress and welfare more easily.
Mission Statement
During the course of Year 7 all pupils spend one term at the Château. This French project is intended to broaden a pupil’s education by enabling him or her to spend a term living in a foreign country. This provides them with the opportunity to:
•improve substantially their command of French, wherever possible involving interaction with the local community;
•learn about the Gers and the way of life of the local people, participating in local school visits and staying with families;
•study the Geography and History of the area;
•produce a journal requiring the use of a variety of resources, including local museums and interaction with French people from the area;
•learn about the political structure of France;
•maintain existing numeracy skills, scientific awareness and standards of music;
•use the environment to inspire art and craft work, some with a technological element;
•take part in major expeditions outside the Gers.
