Hi there!
I'm Mr Pillay, currently living in South Africa.
Considering moving to China to English. My main concern is..
..would my wife and two sons be allowed to accompany me after I have settled in?
Are there schools that accomodates an expat's kids?

China is a very conservative, traditional nation. They would, of course permit your family to accompany you. They would not have the same visa, and the application process would be different, but if you were obtaining your visa through the school, they might be willing to assist processing your entire family. That is a point to negotiate upon.

School for your children will be expensive. In fact, it would be prohibitive. China has the most expensive tuition for international schools in the world. It is outrageous. It would be cheaper for you to fly your kids to Switzerland, rent a house, and hire a nanny to watch over them, and fly them back to be with you in China, rather than paying out for a Chinese international school.

Best regards.
