The Chinese Association of Woking Chinese class was first set up by Mrs Catalina Brook in 1987. The teaching language was Cantonese using traditional Chinese writing. The class was based in the United Reformed Church, Woking, and the teachers recruited were the parents themselves on a voluntary basis.
With the overwhelming demand for learning Mandarin from both adults and children in 2002, the CAW Management Committee set up Mandarin classes headed by Dr Anbin Wang. As part of the association, Mandarin classes for both adults and children commenced on 5 October 2002, forming the Woking Chinese School. Since then, students have achieved high standards in Chinese GCSE and A Level.
Because of its expansion, on 11 January 2003 the Woking Chinese school moved to St John the Baptist School, where it is now situated, sharing the classrooms and facilities with the school.
