Rawlins College's Dave Cooper, Kiran Lambert and Emma Payne start filming the video prospectus at Seagrave Primary
The 71-pupil primary school is developing links with the 1,500-strong Chengdu Normal School and the 2,000-student Sichuan Normal University Experimental Foreign Languages School, and is working on teacher-exchange schemes.
Head teacher Colin Miller said: "The film will allow the children in China to learn a lot more about the differences in education over there and here.
"We teach the children here Mandarin because it is a major world language and there will be a few lines of it from the children in the DVD."
The film is being recorded by GCSE media students from Rawlins Community College in Quorn who are part of the school's RawTV station.
College arts co-ordinator Hayley Fern said: "We are delighted our pupils are involved. It means they can do something that will contribute to courses and give them experience of organising a real filming project."
