We foster a welcoming environment for our BSAK families, that is genuinely friendly and happy. The School's inclusive community spirit, in which everyone is valued, embraces diversity and empathy.
All children in BSAK Primary School are encouraged to achieve their best in academic, sporting and creative fields, whilst at the same time developing their social skills; manners, a respect for each other and those around them, kindness, helpfulness and a willingness to participate for the benefit of others.
Achievement and laughter are our trademarks!
Children are central to all we do and our school is a way of life for all. We are in the business of teaching children to a high standard, turning them into confident and interested learners.
It is not just our heritage and facilities that mark out our school; it is the atmosphere and happiness that runs throughout our community.
We are a lively, busy, happy and hardworking school where our students are helped to develop a ‘growth mind-set’ and achieve the best they can.

At BSAK Primary, our curriculum is a carefully designed journey that begins in the Early Years and continues seamlessly through to Year 6. Based on the Early Years Foundation Stage and the National Curriculum for England 2014 - adapted to our unique setting in the UAE - it offers a rich, balanced, and inclusive learning experience.
We blend British and UAE curriculum subjects to provide a well-rounded education that values academic success, strong morals, and cultural understanding. British, Emirati, and wider global cultures are celebrated throughout school life, helping children develop respect, empathy, and a strong sense of community.
Learning is thoughtfully sequenced, with children building on what they know and making meaningful connections across subjects. Teachers use evidence-based practices to ensure children not only learn but remember and apply their knowledge.
We take pride in our curriculum - but more importantly, we ensure it continues to grow, evolve, and inspire.
Our youngest learners thrive in calm, welcoming spaces designed for play, exploration, and joyful discovery. Staff respond to children’s interests, laying the foundations for a lifelong love of learning.
In Years 1 and 2, we blend structured teaching with hands-on experiences, helping children grow in confidence, independence, and curiosity.
In Years 3–6, children build on strong foundations, deepening their knowledge and thinking skills. Specialist teaching and rich opportunities prepare them for the next stage of education and life beyond Primary.
Inclusion at BSAK is holistic and child-centred: tailored to offer individual support to meet the needs of our children. The Inclusion department comprises 3 qualified Special Educational Needs Teachers supported by a large team of Inclusion Assistants. These assistants work either 1:1 with a child or within a year group offering support to children which is additional to or different from their peers.
Using a multi-disciplinary approach, the team works closely with class teachers, Heads of Year, Inclusion Assistants, Senior Leaders, school counsellors, Educational Psychologists, Speech & Language Therapists, Occupational Therapists and medical professionals, amongst others to ensure that the needs of every child are met. Children identified with a Special Educational Need or Disability are given an Individual Education Plan (IEP) which is reviewed regularly as children make progress with their targets.
We take our lead from the British Special Educational Needs and Disability Code of Practice (2014) and we use the Assess, Plan, Do, Review model to ensure our support for children is effective and relevant. Our aim is to identify the strengths of, and obstacles to, learning for individual students to ensure that they develop the skills and strategies needed for independent learning.
We nurture students’ self-confidence and support them to build positive perceptions of themselves as learners.
