My daughter is studiyng at local school. Her English and Math lessons are taught fully in English. It is actualy depend on the school. You should do a research on the school you are interested in before you apply. Some schools teach both chinese and english science too.
For private school. you should contact the school directly about admission. For goverment aided schools, you need to enter the primary allocation system as they do not accept students directly. More of allocated by the government.
The forms are given in kindergaten, or you can also obtain them from education dept offices.

Which area do you live? If you are going for DSS schools or international schools, you can pick the school that suits your style.. or... ESF is something you can consider. Classes are conducted under British system.. but you have to pay a nominal tuition fee.

Sir Ellis Kadoorie school is an English local primary school. i think Marymount, Maryknoll, Diocesan School, St Paul's Convent, Rosaryhill are also english local school. u can go to the website - http://chsc.edb.hkedcity.net/primary/ then go on advance search. u will find a section of "language of medium", choose english then it will show u the results of the english schools (government, aided, DSS and private).
