General information on groups
The number of children per group is on average 12 in CPE1 and 16 in CPE3, depending on the size of the rooms. Each group of children is supervised by a qualified educator, whose mission is to respect the development and rhythm of each child in accordance with the guidelines defined in the pedagogical project .
The majority of the groups are unilingual (French-speaking, German-speaking, etc.) Some mixed groups are also set up to accommodate a maximum number of children. The allocation of the language group depends on the language section followed at the European School I , the availability of places as well as various organisational and educational elements which ensure a balance in the groups. Given the size of our structure and organisational constraints, it is not always possible to take into account the individual preferences of parents.
Arrival at the CPE
When they are at school, children attending
- nursery class are picked up directly in their classroom by the educators then they go together to the CPE premises.
- primary class are meeting their educator in the school yard after class.
- secondary class meet their educator alone at the meeting point immediatly after the end of school, according to the general schedule (excluding 'additional' courses).
During school holiday periods, children must be brought to the educator in charge of the group for the concerned period no later than 9:30 (for the beginning of the activities).
Homework
During their presence at the CPE, we provide an opportunity for children to do their homework, but also to take part in leisure activities. In general, a period of 1 to 1,5 hours is dedicated to homework (except on Fridays).
The role of the educators is to ensure a peaceful atmosphere favourable for studying and concentration. Although educators may adopt a personalised approach when a child is facing difficulties, it should be pointed out that educators are not private tutors and do not repeat the lessons given in school. Moreover, as specifically requested by the school, they intentionally do not correct the homework so that the teachers and the parents can identify if the child has difficulties.
Please note that the amount of homework and the time required to complete it might vary depending on the language section of the European School and the age of the children. Moreover, many children participate in after-school activities. It may therefore be possible that not all the homework is finished by the time the child leaves the CPE.
Catering
Meals are prepared and invoiced by Sodexo (same service provider as at the ES). Weekly menus are available on Sodexo’s website:
http://www.sodexoeducation.lu/
Starting 2024/2025, a packed-lunch system (called ‘tartiniste’) will be in place at the CPE Ki.
All parents MUST register on the Sodexo website and indicate their child's meal type (hot meal/tartiniste). The choice can be made for the whole school year or by term and will also apply if the child attends the CPE during school holidays.
You can send any questions/comments related to meals directly to Sodexo at the following address: ecoleeuropeenne1.LU@sodexo.com
Any change in your child's weekly attendance will not affect the amount of parental contribution.
Activities
Several times a year the children will be able to enjoy an outdoor activity with their group (visit to a farm, museum, park, etc.) and discover places outside the CPE.
Shuttle
A shuttle service is set up between the CPE and the bus platform of the European School.
It is intended for primary and secondary school pupils. The 'N CPE KI' bus runs on Tuesdays and Thursdays between Rue Albert Borschette (stop near our buildings) and the EE1 bus platforms at around 16.25 to allow the children to have time get in the parked bus that will drive them home.
The service is not offered on Fridays due to the activities organised by the CPE but also, and above all, in order to maintain exchanges between parents and the child’s educator.
The bus is accessible to all children registered with the CPE and with the ATSEEE services without any change in the CPE fee.
Nurses
During school period, a nurse is on duty in each CPE building. Their task is prevention-based through monitoring the health of children enrolled in the CPE and intervention-based in case of emergencies where they provide first aid to ill or injured children, under the medical supervision of a paediatrician. If need be, the nurse is responsible for transferring children to the nearest hospital and contacting their parents.
The medical protocol in force at CPE-Ki is available here .
