The school system in France

Almost all children in France go to a nursery school
for several years before they start primary school

The French Embassy website France @ la carte - has a very useful description of the French school system and current issues in education in France (in English), which gives more cultural background - suitable for teachers rather than KS2 pupils.

For comparative information covering France and other European countries, teachers could look at Eurybase, the EU-funded EURYDICE database. For each country, the information is available in English and in the countrys' national language(s).

A good starting point - which will probably cover all you need - is EURYDICE's summary sheet on each country's system of education:
