I have been meeting with school representatives all week to demand they keep the bilingual stream intact. Please email your local council representative today to tell them this program must stay a shared effort between both schools.

The Wix bilingual stream was the main reason for choosing this school and this area. After 5 years of experience, we're still delighted with the success of it and with everything it teaches to our children. Long may it last!
To the decision makers on this: please do your best to save the stream. It had a huge impact on lives the students and their families on so many dimension. Do not hesitate to use parents to mediate and find a common ground
We have met a lot of families coming from all over the world, who chose to live in Wandsworth (of all places!) because of the Wix Bilingual stream and the multi cultural community of the borough. How could the Authorities not recognize this incredible advantage and protect it as it should be?
The bilingual program at Belleville-Wix offers children a learning environment in which they learn to embrace two different cultures and languages in a way that uniquely positions them to understand the complexity of the world they live in. This program is a gem which deserves to be protected.
Why has the Belleville administration not signed the bilingual agreement yet? What was the rationale for not letting the children from the French Lycée sit the SATS? Parents deserve at least clear and upfront communication on the future of their children's education.
My step-son was a member of the very first class of bilingual children at Wix and the foundation it has given him has been even been greater than the sum of two parts. Not only has he become an independent learner quicker than he might have been, but his results across the board in all subjects have been excellent. Not only would I like to see the Belleville Wix bilingual stream continue long into the future, I would like to see this type of course broadened out as it offers the chance for children to flourish into open-minded, hard working and intelligent young adults.
I strongly believe MORE bilingual spaces should be offered by Belleville Wix/Lycee - the demand is phenomenal and the results are excellent. But if you have to live 1m from the front door to get it, it's not a fair system. Open more spaces.

The bilingual stream at Wix must continue. My children have benefitted from it, and results have proven that bilingual children are performing very highly. Wix is the only truly bilingual school in the country, results have been excellent, so keep it going!
