We are committed to strengthening the partnership between home and school - your voice matters.

Our Parent Survey, in partnership with COBIS and Edurio, is now live and we invite all parents to share their thoughts on teaching, communication, pastoral care, leadership and more.

The Survey link is contained within Friday's letter and will close at the end of the day on 19th June 2026.

Thank you for your continuous support.

عام هجري مبارك. كل عام وأنتم بخير.

Wishing our community a blessed Islamic New Year.

Our UAE Ambassadors enjoyed an inspiring visit to the Zayed National Museum. This trip was a wonderful opportunity for the Prep and Senior schools to connect and learn more about our country, culture, and history.

Pupils explored a range of historical and cultural exhibits and, with Mr. Northcroft’s guidance, deepened their understanding of archaeology and the significant periods that shaped our region. They learned about the UAE’s proud pearl diving heritage and how generations of Emiratis harvested pearls and built trade across the Gulf. Most importantly, they returned with a stronger appreciation of the vision that Shaikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan set for our nation at its founding in 1971.

Watching how the older pupils cared for the younger ones and included them in their conversations and enjoyment of the museum was heartwarming and a tribute to the proud culture of community that our pupils strive for daily.

It was wonderful to see Pre Prep come together for Frontliners Tribute Day, with children dressed as a range of community helpers including doctors, nurses, firefighters, teachers and police officers. The range of costumes showed how much the children value the people who support and care for us every day. Many also brought generous Red Crescent donations, reflecting real kindness and awareness of others.

The Year 2 Pupil Council led an assembly highlighting why frontliners are important and classes spent time creating thank you messages and reflecting on kindness and appreciation.

Thank you to all families for supporting this special event and helping us recognise our community heroes.

Well done to our Year 9 pupils for delivering exceptional Independent Projects. Their work demonstrated deep research, thoughtful planning and impressive creativity, resulting in high quality presentations aligned with sustainability priorities in the UAE.

From innovative water management systems to smart tech prototypes and environmentally conscious design solutions, pupils showcased forward thinking ideas supported by detailed models, apps, leaflets, and presentation boards.

Throughout the project process, pupils continued to broaden and strengthen a wide range of transferable skills including collaboration, critical thinking, communication, design thinking, and confident public speaking — preparing them for future academic and professional success.

Our Pre‑Prep pupils took part in an enriching learning experience as they explored the key Hajj rituals through hands‑on activities. The children performed a symbolic mini pilgrimage, helping them get a deeper understanding with the meaning and values of this important journey. Through this experience, they discovered the spirit of togetherness and reflection that Hajj represents.

Our Bright Start programme has officially begun and our future Nursery (FS1) and FS2 pupils are already taking their first steps toward becoming Brightonians. This week, we explored the theme of building relationships, creating connections, learning together, and discovering what it means to be part of our vibrant school community.

The children had a fantastic time getting to know their new school environment and meeting their wonderful teachers. Parents also benefitted from valuable child‑development insights shared by our fantastic Early Years team.
