Comments:

Jumeira Primary School provides high quality British style education.

JPS, as it's affectionately known, is a highly successful international primary school in Dubai. There are many nationalities represented at JPS, reflecting the cosmopolitan nature of our host city. The international nature of the school is one of our many strengths. We live and work in harmony together, respecting our cultural differences and learning from each other. The annual International Day is an opportunity for children to become better world citizens and enjoy the diversity of nationalities who attend JPS. Children are allowed to dress in their national clothes and parents set up exhibits so that the school can experience the food and culture from around the world.

We understand that our children may be Global Nomads or, on the other hand, may be experiencing their first taste of life away from home. In a rapidly changing world, JPS provides a balanced commitment between values which have stood the test of time and a modern, innovative education. Citizenship and opportunities to develop and use ICT form the foundations of success at JPS.

Children and learning are at the heart of our school. The standards of behaviour are high, as are the academic standards. JPS has a dedicated team of teachers, teaching assistants, administrative and ancillary staff who together, make this a very good school. The JPS Parents' Association charitable fund raising efforts and social activities make an invaluable contribution to the school.

In addition to the National Curriculum for England, children at JPS benefit from Arabic language tuition from Year 1 and French from Year 4. Children from Kindergarten to Year 4 are class based and make excellent progress supported by the specialist teaching of music and PE. Gradually specialist teaching increases and by Years 5 and 6, specialists teach all lessons. This offers the highest standards of education for our children. The rich variety of extra-curricular opportunities enhances our board and well balanced curriculum.

We have high expectations at JPS in all that we do. Leadership is important to us and we aim to foster independence and self-motivation in parallel with co-operation and teamwork. The well mannered young people I see around me are a credit to their parents, JPS and themselves. We provide a warm and caring learning environment where children and adults feel safe, confident, valued, and are, of course, very happy. The very best way to experience our school is to visit us on a school day.

Please feel welcome to make an appointment through the school secretary or the registrar to visit Jumeira Primary School.

Mr. Stuart J. Dennis
Headteacher

 

Parental Comments/Opinions

I am Australian living in Dubai.
I have my daughter (aged 11, 12 in July) at Jumeira College and my son (aged 9, 10 in June) at Jumeira Primary School. I am very pleased with the school so far. The facilities are new and generous. Extracurricular activities are plentiful and fun for the children. I like the ethos of the school which I find to be very professional and at the same time caring. Fees are a bit expensive.

I am a British national who emigrated to New Zealand where my son started the first three years of his state education. Now he is at JPS and has completed one and a half years there. He has found JPS to be more academic than his first school and much harder work - this is not necessarily a bad thing! He enjoys school and has made a lot of friends, many of whom are from very different backgrounds. The school is well-resourced and the staff friendly and caring. We are very happy with JPS and are putting our daughter's name down for next year (she'll be 3).

Note: make sure you put your name down early as places go very quickly.
