The concept is unique: a traditional English prep school education but for half the day all classes are taught in Mandarin. Kensington wade is the first of its kind in UK offering a Chinese- English bilingual prep school. The school aims to deliver students with fluent Mandarin Chinese, a bilingual mindset and the ability to transfer comfortably between two cultures. The headmaster (Huw May) is highly experienced in the UK independent school sector having been head of Eaton House the Manor, pre prep. The curriculum has been carefully planned to combine the best of British and Chinese system and there is an average class size of 20 pupils. English is taught similarly to other prep schools following EYFS and Read write Inc. phonics programme. Maths follows the Shanghai Maths approach, encouraging thoroughly acquiring an understanding of an area of math before moving forwards.
