Job overview
Chengdu Westminster School, located in Shuangliu District, is the first school to be launched in China as part of the long-term collaboration between Hong Kong Melodious Education and Technology Group and Westminster School, London.
Chengdu Westminster School comprises: Kindergarten (ages 1-5) Primary (ages 6-12) Junior Middle School (ages 12-15) Senior School (ages 15-18).
Chengdu Westminster School will provide bilingual education to our pupils throughout, with the opportunity to board from age 9 onwards, with boarding for all from age 12 in the Junior Middle School. In Primary and Junior Middle School, the Chinese National Curriculum forms the core curriculum, with elements of the Westminster curriculum and pedagogy. In Senior School, CWS follows the IGCSE and A level curriculum models.
Chengdu Westminster School occupies a new site, and the campus for 2,700 students will be ready for its first intake of students in September 2021. The bilingual education of Chengdu Westminster School will prepare pupils for life beyond the campus, as the confident bilinguals, with access to leading universities worldwide.
Chengdu Westminster will become a centre of academic excellence. This success will derive from the pupils’ enjoyment of academic enquiry, debate and search for
explanation well beyond any published syllabus. Central to the school ethos, and reflecting the values of Westminster School London, will be the dialogue between teachers and their pupils, both inside and outside the classroom. This will inspire passion for learning, conveying knowledge as well as developing the skills of rational, independent thought. The academic success will be matched by outstanding student achievements in co-curricular, which offers a wide range of opportunities to CWS pupils. While the academic and cultural attainments are highly prised, the Westminster ethos is also fully committed to the nurture of each pupil’s spiritual, moral, emotional and physical development with an overriding emphasis on pastoral care to support the wellbeing of all in the community whilst drawing out the individual talent wherever it lies – and to the preparation of responsible young people for fulfilled private and public lives beyond School.
The school campus will be happy, busy and purposeful; the pupils will be intellectually, socially, and ethically engaged, with abundant opportunities to develop initiatives and to articulate and defend their viewpoints. Individual and corporate excellence are expected and promoted.

Chengdu Westminster will become a centre of academic excellence. This success will derive from pupils’ enjoyment of academic enquiry, debate and search for explanation well beyond any published syllabus. Central to the school ethos, and reflecting the values of Westminster School London, will be the dialogue between teachers and their pupils, whether in the classroom or in smaller groups. This will inspire passion for learning, conveying knowledge as well as developing the skills of rational, independent thought. However academic success will be matched by outstanding student achievements across the range of opportunities available in the co-curriculum programme. While academic and cultural attainments are highly prized, the Westminster ethos is also fully committed to the nurture of each pupil’s spiritual, moral, emotional and physical development with an over-riding emphasis on pastoral care to support the well being of all in the community whilst drawing out individual talent wherever it lies – and to the preparation of responsible young people for fulfilled private and public lives beyond School.
