OUR
\nHEAD OF JUNIOR\u2019S
\nMESSAGE<\/h2>\n<\/div>
\n

Welcome to Kent College Dubai, where the wellbeing and development of each child is at the heart of everything we do. As both a mother and educator for many years, I know firsthand how important it is to build strong relationships with families to create a nurturing, supportive environment where every child can thrive.<\/p>\n

At KCD, we are committed to recruiting highly qualified and passionate teachers who recognise the profound responsibility they have in shaping your child\u2019s future. Our educators understand that their role goes beyond academic instruction; they are mentors, role models, and advocates for each student\u2019s overall growth and happiness.<\/p>\n

We pride ourselves on offering a holistic education that not only focuses on academic excellence but also on developing the full potential of each child. Whether it\u2019s in the classroom, on the sports field, or in creative and social spaces, we encourage our students to explore their talents and grow into confident, well-rounded individuals.<\/p>\n

As a leader with over 20 years of experience in education, and as an advocate for inclusive education, I am proud to be part of a school that celebrates diversity and fosters a culture of kindness and inclusion. I warmly welcome you to our Kent College Dubai family, where we work hand in hand with parents to ensure that every child feels valued, supported, and empowered to succeed.<\/p>\n

Key Stage One (Age 5 \u2013 7)<\/h2>\n<\/div>
\n

Our Key Stage One department is located in the Junior School building, allowing children to move seamlessly from one stage to the next. The learning areas for Key Stage One are stimulating, beautiful and fun, encouraging children to play together. Whilst still supporting and enabling the critical social and learning behaviours from the Foundation Stage, children in Key Stage 1 begin to develop more sophisticated skills as they increase their confidence in academic skills.<\/p>\n

Learning in Years One and Two maintains a play-based, inquiry-driven model, but with slightly more structure. Planned independent and pupil-led approaches ensure that our children\u2019s individual contributions are valued and that they grow in confidence as they begin to realise their value and contribution to the wider school community.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

Children acquire knowledge and skills through questioning, exploring and discovery. Our talented teachers use a variety of creative approaches and resources catered to the interests, needs and learning styles of each child.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Key Stage Two (Age 7 \u2013 11) <\/h2>\n<\/div>
\n

Your Key Stage Two child will embark with confidence on more challenging and goal-oriented learning opportunities, both independently and within collaborative teams. In Years Three to Six, they are encouraged to take more ownership and direction of their learning. Our amazing teachers plan delivery of the curriculum in a manner which is exciting and engaging; maintaining a very practical \u201chands-on\u201d approach as much as possible. Your child will grow and flourish through Key Stage Two into a confident, curious, independent learner.<\/p>\n

In Key Stage Two, pupils are given various opportunities to participate in musical, sporting, artistic and academic activities internally and in competition with other schools in Dubai. The Pupil Council and other leadership roles offer our older students leadership opportunities; sharing their \u2018voice\u2019 and contributing to the school and wider community through a number of valuable projects.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
