We’re seeing this across Primary as the children are truly ‘hitting the ground running’ in their new learning topics. As always, with our wonderful team of teachers, there are lots of exciting and motivating activities planned. I anticipate your children will come home full of news and eager to share their learning experiences with you. The interest you show in their school experience is absolutely vital to their success and achieving their potential. I am very appreciative of the engagement and involvement that BIS Abu Dhabi parents have with their children. It’s not something that can be taken for granted in other schools, so please keep up your fantastic work!
Last week, we enjoyed two fabulous events that highlighted the very best of our amazing youngsters.
Firstly, the Duathlon was a terrific success. Watching the students sprint, trot, or even collapse over the finish line was a testament to their spirit and resilience. I was delighted to see such a strong turnout and to be part of this joyful occasion. Congratulations to everyone who took part, and thank you to the staff members who organised it.
The second event was the ‘Principal’s Breakfast’ in The Hub, where students from across the Primary School were recognised for their positive presence in school. These children were selected either for their fantastic attitude to learning or for demonstrating our school values. Alan and I had a wonderful time chatting with them, getting to know them individually, and hearing about their experiences at school. It was truly a privilege to spend time with such lovely children, and I look forward to repeating this with others in the future.
As always, thank you for your support, encouragement, and warmth towards the school. I look forward to seeing you at the gates!

Belief is a powerful force. As educators, we see daily how a student’s confidence—whether strong or fragile—shapes their learning journey. Whether in the classroom, on the sports field, or on stage, students thrive when they believe in their ability to succeed. As a Drama teacher, I often see this in action—students stepping outside their comfort zones, taking risks, and growing in confidence. But this idea extends far beyond Drama; it is fundamental to education as a whole.
Inspired by the latest Nord Anglia INSIGHTS article exploring why the Early Years are the most important years of a child’s education, we know that a child’s most significant learning happens during this time - in ways that are not always immediately visible.
