Newcastle Chinese School is a charity-funded organisation (Registration No. 1139735) that first opened in 1974. Our school is the largest and oldest Chinese school in Newcastle Upon Tyne and across the North East of England. Our education standards range from beginner to HSK & GCSE. We are the only registered EdExcel exam centre for Chinese studies in the North East of England. We are one of the five Chinese Schools awarded the Chinese Education Dedication Award by The Consulate General of China in Manchester.
Our school was founded by a group of aspiring overseas Chinese from Newcastle upon Tyne and Sunderland. The objective was to provide local Chinese children with the opportunity to learn Chinese characters and culture. For over 40 years, under the leadership of successive principals, the selfless dedication of teachers, and the support of successive school board members, the school has successfully cultivated numerous talents.
The school currently offers Mandarin classes taught in simplified Chinese.
