Four hundred people flocked to celebrate the Oxford Chinese School's 15th anniversary party at the Town Hall.
Pupils performed a traditional Chinese Dragon Dance to entertain guests, who included the Lord Mayor Cllr Maureen Christian.
More than 100 Chinese youngsters aged five and over attend the school in Union Street, east Oxford, on Sundays only to learn Mandarin or Cantonese.
Parents, teachers, children and guests enjoyed a celebratory lunch and a special edition of the school magazine was also produced.
Headteacher Dr Anna Chapman said: "This is quite a special school for our community. It's very important for people to learn the mother tongue.
"We are supported by the county council and work closely with local teachers in mainstream schools."
