Where curiosity meets innovation.

Our Year 4 students are diving into coding and robotics, applying their programming and coding skills to control robots and complete a series of tasks.

As they bring their robots to life, students are developing their computational thinking, problem-solving and teamwork skills — learning to experiment, collaborate and find creative solutions along the way.

From code to movement, every challenge is an opportunity to discover what’s possible.

A wonderful morning of conversation, connection and community. ☕️

We were delighted to welcome our parents to our first Principal’s Coffee Morning with Sarah Matthews, our new Principal at Cranleigh Abu Dhabi.

It was a lovely opportunity to meet one another, share thoughts and get to know Sarah as we begin this exciting new chapter together.

A heartfelt thank you to all the parents who joined us and took the time to be part of the morning. Your openness, support and involvement are such an important part of our Cranleigh community.

We look forward to many more conversations and shared moments together.

At just 10 years old, Mohammed has achieved something remarkable: completing and receiving a Diploma in Cybersecurity and Artificial Intelligence.

His achievement was recognised at an official ceremony, where Mohammed was personally honoured by Sheikh Abdullah bin Sultan Al Qasimi, in the presence of distinguished guests and members of the community.

Beyond the qualification itself, Mohammed’s journey reflects the value of curiosity, determination and a willingness to explore what lies beyond the classroom.

At Cranleigh Abu Dhabi, we celebrate students who pursue their passions, challenge themselves and have the confidence to imagine what comes next.

Congratulations, Mohammed! We can’t wait to see where this journey will take you.

We were pleased to welcome students, families and university representatives from across the globe to the Cranleigh Abu Dhabi University Fair.

The evening provided our students with an opportunity to engage directly with leading universities, explore a diverse range of courses and destinations, and gain a deeper understanding of the pathways available to them beyond Cranleigh.

Through meaningful conversations and first-hand insights into university life, students were encouraged to broaden their horizons, consider new possibilities and make informed decisions about their next steps.

For this week’s spotlight, we are incredibly proud of our FS2 pupil Ameera, who has officially joined Yas Heat Racing and is competing in the Bambino category for the 2026/27 season.

At just five years old, Ameera has already taken to the track for her first official race at Dubai Kartdrome, a wonderful milestone that reflects her courage, determination and love for what she does.

We are delighted to support Ameera as she balances her passion for motorsport alongside her learning at Cranleigh. We can’t wait to follow her journey and cheer her on every step of the way! 🏎️✨

Keep dreaming, keep learning, and keep racing, Ameera!
