Pioneering school starts Mandarin Chinese in KS1
St Paul's in Manchester has hired a full time teacher.
Headteacher Don Berry said: “We are very excited by the work that Zhang Zie has begun with our pupils. We are delighted to have her at the school.
“Miss Zhang is teaching our Key Stage One pupils and we are using a method by which she gives them short bursts of Chinese lessons throughout the day, so that we maintain the children’s attention and interest and don’t overwhelm them. We think that learning Chinese will put our children in a very strong position for their future education and careers.”
