Primary School

For Ages: 5 to 11 years old

At the Primary School level, academic learning is seamlessly integrated with opportunities that nurture each child’s full potential. The curriculum is designed to develop essential skills such as reasoning, problem-solving, and creative thinking. Our passionate educators ensure that students are engaged and inspired by their learning experiences.

Curriculum Framework

The foundation of our curriculum is the National Curriculum for England (NCfE), enhanced to meet the expectations of the UAE Ministry of Education (MOE). This dual alignment ensures a coherent and progressive learning journey. Transitions between year levels are carefully structured, supported by progression frameworks that deliver age-appropriate and inclusive lessons.

The subjects taught at this level includes:

Our Primary curriculum is inclusive and holistic, ensuring that Students of Determination and Gifted and Talented learners receive appropriate support through adaptive teaching and targeted modifications. Literacy and oracy remain central through Guided Reading, targeted interventions, a dedicated upper‑primary library, and explicit communication‑skills instruction. Specialist subjects—including Computing, PE, Music, Art, and Modern Foreign Languages—further enrich learning and contribute to a balanced education.

Personal development is strengthened through a structured PSHE curriculum that builds essential life skills and reinforces core values. Wellbeing is embedded through the Oxford Wellbeing Curriculum, while Innovative approaches such as Project‑Based Learning, ICT integration, digital citizenship, STEAM in Lower Primary, and STEM in Upper Primary promote inquiry, creativity, and real‑world application. Sustainability and global citizenship are embedded through the Environmental Sustainability Framework and cross‑curricular links aligned with UAE national priorities.

A wide range of co‑curricular and extra‑curricular activities—including cultural celebrations, subject events, inter‑school competitions, and after‑school enrichment—supports students’ interests and build 21st‑century skills. Cultural and Moral Education deepens understanding of UAE heritage and values, while metacognitive strategies and AI‑enhanced tools help students become reflective, independent, and digitally aware learners.

Assessment and progress monitoring ensure high standards, with the students participating in UAE International Benchmark Assessments as mandated by KHDA.

The Primary phase is a period of significant intellectual, emotional, and social growth, and our curriculum—rooted in British educational values and enriched by UAE priorities—prepares students for future academic success and responsible global citizenship.
