![]() Hounslow Chinese School Hounslow Chinese School is a non-profit making, non-political and non-religious voluntary school. The School was founded in early 1977 by Rev and Mrs Chong who first set up classes at the Hounslow United Reformed Church hall. Initially there were only four teachers and twenty four pupils who were taught in two classes. But by 1978, the supply of teachers and the church hall could no longer cope with the demand of the ever increasing number of pupils. Faced with this problem, Rev Chong turned to the Overseas Chinese Education Centre (OCEC) for help. After a great deal of preparation and reorganization Hounslow School finally became one of the branch schools under the OCEC in 1980. Application was granted by the local council a year later, for the use of Hounslow Town Primary School (our present premises) every Saturday morning from 10.30am to 12.30pm. An annual rent was paid to the Council until 1987 when it was waived, thanks to the support of multicultural education in the Borough. Since 1988, the School had been receiving an annual grant, which was reviewed every year, to help with the running costs. The initial grant, though small, was a milestone for Chinese education in Hounslow. But unfortunately since September 2007, this grant was discontinued. However, the council still continues to pay for the rent of the school premises.The teaching is based on textbooks and lecture notes, specially designed for overseas students and Chinese students born in U.K. who want to study Chinese. Our syllabus caters for beginner to GCSE & A Level Chinese. Courses in Cantonese and Mandarin.
