Introduction to Primary School
Welcome to DBIS Primary School. It is my great pleasure to introduce you to the wealth of opportunities at our school.
Our Primary School is a unique and special community which puts the children's learning and development at the heart of everything we do. We view children as having extraordinary potential for learning and the ability to form their own understandings of the world around them. Our focus is upon nurturing creative, resilient and independent learners who are excited and confident to learn and explore through active learning. The school's philosophy is based around the holistic development of each child, ensuring that all students are given every opportunity to pursue their individual strengths and interests and develop curiosity, independence, confidence, and resilience when meeting new challenges.
Our children follow the National Curriculum of England, which is adapted and personalised to suit our international context and is delivered through an inquiry-based pedagogy that is progressive in nature as children move through the phase. Supporting the development of different learning dispositions and behaviours is an important part of our approach to teaching and learning within the Primary school and is inspired by the DBIS Learner Profile. Our inquiry-based approach to learning is supported through our innovative use of technology and promotes the development of independence and critical-thinking skills in our students. We have high expectations of all our learners, who are inspired to achieve their potential through a rigorous curriculum framework, personalised approach to teaching and learning and exceptional learning environments.
We place great importance on positive relationships and interactions amongst all members of our Primary School community, and this is key to our school’s ethos. By working together, we can ensure that all children continue to value and enjoy their time at DBIS, that they are sufficiently challenged and supported in their learning and that they realise their potential in a supportive, nurturing environment.
We hope the following pages give you an insight into our outstanding learning community, and we welcome any questions that prospective parents may have.
