Move my Teen to France

9 years ago
My daughter 16 is having a very hard time living with her mum in the UK. My aim is to move her here ASAP, her final exams are over in 10 months; I won't disrupt her now obviously. Does anybody know my next move?
I think its Lycee after 16 and she will want to get a workbased course, not necessarily to study for Uni, she's not academic really and she speaks zero French, we can try to teach her as well as studying for exams, but are there options like this available?

English speaking courses at Lycee?

Ability to stop education for say 6 months, to study French in France?

I am so stuck and the net seems to not have much on moving teens after exams.

Her big fear is the language barrier, perhaps if we can succeed in getting her speaking and understanding French, we will certainly maximise our options, but I just wondered if anyone else had faced this nightmare. I want her to make her own informed choices as much as possible.

Thank you SO much in advance, thanks also for reading.
