Brighton College Abu Dhabi

Before the end of term, we were delighted to welcome our new Head of Senior School, Mr Nick Crafts, to Brighton College Abu Dhabi.

During his visit, Mr Crafts spent time getting to know our wonderful pupils and dedicated staff, and joined our Tea with CLT, where he enjoyed meeting members of our wider school community.

Having held leadership positions in schools across the UK and overseas, Mr Crafts brings extensive experience in supporting pupil achievement, strengthening pastoral care, and leading curriculum development, all underpinned by a commitment to the highest standards of educational excellence.

We look forward to officially welcoming Mr Crafts to the Brighton College Abu Dhabi family in August and to seeing him build on the Senior School's many successes.

Our Pre-Prep and Prep librarians have put together a collection of brilliant book recommendations to keep you reading, imagining and discovering during the summer break.

We hope these recommendations inspire plenty of reading over the holidays.

What a fantastic way to celebrate our Year 2 pupils before they take their exciting next step into Prep School!

Their performance of Out of This World was filled with creativity, teamwork and, above all, confidence. Every child played their part with enthusiasm, filling the stage with wonderful singing, acting and storytelling.

It was wonderful to watch them perform with such excitement after all their hard work in rehearsals. We could not be prouder of everything they achieved, and what a special way to mark the end of their time in Pre-Prep.

At Brighton College Abu Dhabi, recognising and celebrating achievement is an important part of our community. The Senior School Prize Giving and Diploma Ceremonies provided a wonderful opportunity to bring another successful academic year to a close, as we honoured pupils for their accomplishments across a wide range of categories.

Every award represented more than academic or personal success, it recognised the dedication, perseverance and hard work demonstrated throughout the year.

Congratulations to all of our award recipients, whose accomplishments embody the College’s values and spirit.

We are delighted to announce that Brighton College Abu Dhabi has been commended as the Independent School of the Year for Outstanding Educational Partnerships, recognising our innovative collaboration with YOUthConnect Hub to equip young people with the networks and skills to flourish in their futures.

At the heart of this partnership is a shared philosophy: a youth-led, parent-supported ecosystem that complements rather than competes with the classroom, empowering young people to see themselves not only as future job seekers, but as future creators, innovators and leaders.

We are proud of this achievement and remain committed to creating opportunities that inspire pupils to lead with confidence in an ever-changing world.
