History
BCWKPS was first known as the 佛教中華義校2. It was established by the Hong Kong Buddhist Association after the Second World War to provide free primary education for children. In 1968, the government planned reclaim the land which it was located for commercial developments. In compensation, the government gave the school a piece of land in Wah Fu Estate for a new building of the school. It was then rename Buddhist Chung Wah Primary School and opened in 1970. In 1986, the school saw the fall in number of students in the area and the government planned to open a language school in place of the school. After discussion between the Hong Kong Buddhist Association and the Education Department , the government agreed to give another piece of land on the newly developed housing area of Kornhill in exchange of the existing land and the school building. It was renamed again to its current name adding "Kornhill" to it and reopen in the same year.
