French lessons in Southampton
Compare University French stages at Avenue Campus with La Récré’s Saturday routes for adult beginners and children.
Check the University stage before January
The University of Southampton lists 2026/27 French courses at Avenue Campus. Its language courses run in 10-week terms with a half-term break. Stage 1a began on 7 October 2026; Move on in French Stage 1b/c starts on 4 January 2027 and runs to 23 June. Improvers Stage 2 began on 6 October and runs to 22 June. If you are considering January, ask whether your previous study fits the move-on stage; this is a dated course, so check the current page for the next intake.
A Saturday school with child and adult routes
La Récré lists French classes for children grouped by age, along with parent-and-toddler groups. Its page says the lessons build spoken French and, for older children, reading and writing; a parent or carer is responsible for the youngest group. It also lists a Saturday adult beginner class, Dalton, at Charlton House School from 10am to 11.45am. The Saturday school runs during term time. Check the child’s age and French experience with the school, and confirm the current timetable and registration before planning around a particular class.
