LEH International School Foshan is excited to announce the opening of our Year 3 classroom on 2nd February 2023. This marks a significant milestone in the school's growth and development. The opening of Year 3 represents the continuation of the school's mission to provide high-quality education to students in the Greater Bay Area in South China.
First opening its doors in 2021, LEH Foshan has quickly established a reputation for its commitment to academic excellence, providing students with a holistic and joyful education that emphasises the school’s 8C qualities – Creativity, Commitment, Craftsmanship, Collaboration, Confidence, Curiosity, Communication and Compassion. The addition of Year 3 will further strengthen this commitment, allowing the school to accommodate more students from a younger age and help them build a solid foundation in the British education system.
The school's commitment to academic excellence is reflected in its teaching staff, which is made up of experienced educators who provide students with the best possible education.
Our Head of the Prep School Ms Mandy Bateman is currently leading the role to take care of Year 3 students’ teaching & learning and well-being, meanwhile we are expecting a new Prep Teacher to join us starting from Term 3. Please stay in touch for future updates.
Head of the Prep School
Ms Mandy Bateman has nearly 30 years of experience as an educator and leader in both British and international schools in the UK, Portugal, and Egypt. Her journey in education has been wide-ranging. Ms Bateman holds a MA SEN Education from Cambridge UK.
The year 3 students arrived smart in their brand-new uniforms, excited, confident and willing to learn. They gasped in excitement as they entered a room they had not seen decorated before. A bright well-resourced and focused learning environment, a reading tent in the corner bought great excitement.
The Year 3 Curriculum is designed to further enhance, complement and build upon the foundational knowledge students have already. Our Prep School Curriculum is based on the guidelines and standards set forth by the English National Curriculum but has been customised to meet the unique learning needs of students in the local and international communities.
In the classroom, teachers adopt the thematic learning approach to teach five core subjects including English, Mathematics, Science, History, and Geography. Class teachers are supported by teaching assistants, not only in classroom teaching but also in wellbeing and pastoral guidance. There are further subjects of Spanish, Chinese, Art, Music, Drama, Sports, and Computer Science delivered by specialist teachers to enhance the students’ learning opportunities.
Individualised Learning Support
In the Prep School, all lessons will be conducted in English (except Chinese and foreign language lessons). Small-size classes ensure that each teacher can gain a firm knowledge of his or her student’s strengths and challenges and design highly individual learning plans for them. Students will be able to take advantage of the plan and improve their English skills for future study.
Students will also benefit from our individualised English Language Learning (ELL) Programme and the support from the in-house English Language Acquisition team. This helps develop their holistic language skills in reading, writing, speaking and listening and allows them to fully engage in the school’s British Curriculum.

The opening of Year 3 at LEH is a significant event that marks an important stage in the school's journey. By providing younger students with a high-quality education that is based on the UK National Curriculum, LEH Foshan is helping them to build a solid foundation in the British education system from an early stage and ensuring a smooth transit to senior year groups as they progress. With the support of dedicated teachers, learning support specialists, and pastoral staff, students are well-placed to achieve their full potential and to succeed in their future academic and personal endeavours.
LEH Foshan is now putting in sustained effort towards the planned commencement of Year 2 in September 2023. In order to provide prospective students and families with a comprehensive understanding of the school, we cordially invite you to attend our Prep School Open Day on February 18th, 2023.
