- Huaxia Chinese School 2024 25 Annual Report

18th May 2025

Teaching and Learning

1. Outline

Our school continues to operate smoothly, with both Mandarin and Cantonese Divisions progressing well. Staff in both divisions have worked hard and developed further on our curriculums, which enable much better consistency with the UK exam system.

2. Teacher training

  - Teacher training sessions organised for teaching staff in both Mandarin and Cantonese Divisions.

  - Joint teaching-related activities arranged among Levels 3, 4, and 5 to encourage coordinated learning across the curriculum.

  - An observation session organised for all teachers to learn from a more experienced teacher in a real lesson. Highly positive feedback received.

3. Edexcel Exam

  - Last year’s exam result was excellent, as always! All our GCSE students achieved A and A*, and the majority of our A-Level students achieved A and B in the very challenging A-Level exam.

  - Students in this year’s GCSE and A-Level classes have been working diligently in preparation for their exams, which are currently taking place at our exam centre.

  - We’ve already had GCSE classes in both Mandarin and Cantonese. Looking ahead, we will consider launching a Cantonese A-Level class depending on student interest.

  - We continue to refine and improve our procedures to ensure the highest quality of service for our exam offerings.

4. Working with The Education Institute of the University of Manchester

This school year marks the third year of our successful partnership with the Education Institute at the University of Manchester. By providing placement opportunities for UoM students, we have broadened our recruitment channels. Recruitment for the upcoming school year has started. We are committed to strengthening this partnership in the years ahead.

Key Challenges

1. Staff shortage

A recurring issue is the staff shortage from late May to June caused by the university students leaving when the academic year ends. We call for parent volunteers to help support classes as temporary TAs. Please come forward to support your school and your children!

2. Student Conduct and Emergency Contact Reminder

It happened a few times in the past few months that some students caused a mess in the toilets. Such a behavior not only compromises the safety and well-being of our students and staff, but also puts our classroom agreement with the University at risk. We strongly urge all parents to work with the school to reinforce the good behaviour of your children and respect school rules and facilities.
It is crucial to students’ wellbeing that parents’ emergency contact number remains reachable at all times during school hours. Parents must ensure that your emergency contact number is accessible, and inform the school in a timely manner when it changes.

School Account

Financial report has been prepared separately.
Staff wage will be adjusted in line with the inflation rate and the market rate in the new school year.
Tuition fee will be adjusted accordingly, the new annual fee will be £210.
