Are you ready for our Sports day week?
As previously communicated, our whole school sports day week kicks off this Monday, 6th February where our students will be sprinting, throwing, and jumping it out with their classmates, in the hope of bringing home the Sports Day glory for their respective houses!
We all know that family support is a crucial element to sporting engagement and enjoyment. Therefore, we truly value our parent body in your role of creating that encouraging and supportive atmosphere for our students, as they strive to gain maximum points for their House.
We therefore look forward to seeing as many of our parents at the events as possible.
Remember to ensure your child is ready to participate with their PE attire of shorts and running trainers, along with wearing their House shirt. Let us also not forget the importance of a filled water bottle and sun hat.
Finally, as a reminder please see below sports day week schedule:

In 2014 Mrs. Lowe arrived to teach at the British International School Abu Dhabi, excited to work with the Physical Education Department to implement and embed Dance within both the curriculum and the CCA programme. Schemes of work were created for FS1 to Year 9 and all PE teachers received professional development training to understand the fundamentals of Dance, to discover the importance of Dance and how movement can be creative and powerful.
Last week, Mrs. Stanier, our Head of Humanities, had the pleasure of accompanying three of our amazing students: Tia and Renad from Year 12, and Turkan from Year 10, to Houston, Texas, to take part in the NAE UNICEF summit. We were thrilled to be hosted by one of our Nord Anglia schools, The Village School in Houston, the first Child-Friendly City in the US recognised by UNICEF. The Village School is a boarding school, so the students got to experience what life was like as a boarding student there for the week.
