Generously funded by SWIRE, Chobham Academy becomes the only All-Through comprehensive school in the country that teaches Mandarin Chinese to all age groups at a large scale. It is not just the elite top set learning Mandarin at Chobham Academy Primary, every single pupil from Reception to Year 6 are having Mandarin or Chinese related lessons. Whilst at Chobham Academy Secondary, more than half the cohort of students are learning Mandarin and choose to keep on learning Mandarin to GCSE level.
Last year alone, Chobham Academy Secondary had 91 students sitting the GCSE Chinese exam, the largest exam entry from a UK mainstream school versus saturday Chinese community schools, and their results were outstanding, with positive progress 8 and more than half of them achieved 7-9 (A to A**).
