On behalf of all of the Primary Staff Team we would like to take this opportunity to extend a very warm welcome to each and every one of you. We are extremely proud to be a part of AAESS and to work as a member of our school family in partnership with children, parents, staff and the wider community.

AAESS Primary is a child centered school. We recognise that every child is an individual, and that learning is a very personal experience. Our school is a unique community of learners. All the actions we take have the best interests of the children in mind – ensuring they receive their entitlement to the highest level of education possible, regardless of race, gender, religion or individual learning needs.

We believe that teaching is not the imparting of knowledge, but the enabling of children to take responsibility for their own learning. Our aim is to provide an environment where every child feels it is safe to try something new, safe to make a mistake and safe to succeed. All our children have the opportunity to develop as a valued member of the school. We aim for academic excellence, as shown in our end of year results, and celebrate effort and achievement with equal enthusiasm.

Secondary Section

Al Ain English Speaking Senior School is a vibrant, multicultural community made up of students from over forty different nationalities. Our staff and students are united by the medium of the English language in a caring, friendly and happy atmosphere which resonates throughout our school. In recent years, the Senior School has grown considerably both in terms of the number of students on roll and the breadth of courses on offer to our students. However, by ensuring that class sizes are kept low, the quality of education we offer to our students is very good. Our public examination results were extremely pleasing. In the 2010-11 academic year, 70% of our Year 11 students attained 5 GCSEs graded A* to C.

We are academically inclusive upon entry and cater for students with a wide range of academic talent and ability (however our provision for students with special needs is limited). Class sizes are generally lower than 25 and our our Learning Support Assistants make a valued contribution to the life of the school working in close partnership with the Class Teachers
