Dear Students, Parents, and Caregivers, 

 

It is my absolute pleasure to welcome you to Newlands School Dubai, a vibrant, inclusive, and forward-thinking learning community where students are at the heart of everything we do.

 

At Newlands, we pride ourselves on offering a comprehensive school journey from Kindergarten to Post-16, providing both academic and vocational pathways that enable students to flourish from Early Years through to university entry. As a school enriched by culture and representing over 50 nationalities, we embrace diversity as a strength and a catalyst for innovation. Our school ethos is built on mutual respect, kindness, and a shared belief that every learner has the potential to achieve excellence.

 

Our dedicated and experienced faculty bring global expertise, extensive subject knowledge, and a passion for teaching. Their commitment extends beyond the classroom; they build strong, supportive relationships with students, enabling them to succeed academically, socially, and emotionally.

 

The foundation of our academic programme is the British curriculum, enriched with UAE heritage, values, and global perspectives. At Newlands, we utilise evidence-based teaching practices that promote academic rigour, critical thinking, and independent learning. Our commitment to research-led pedagogy ensures that each lesson makes an impact and that every student is challenged to develop.

 

Our school is committed to the KHDA School Inspection Framework and the pillars of the Dubai Education Strategy-E33: excellence in academic outcomes, enrichment through a broad and balanced curriculum, and engagement with local and global communities. We aim to nurture well-rounded individuals who are prepared for life beyond school.

 

Wellbeing is central to our values. We understand that students learn best when they feel valued, seen, and supported. From pastoral care and safeguarding to student voice and leadership possibilities, every initiative at Newlands aims to make students feel confident, connected, and empowered.

 

We are also proud to be a school that encourages innovation and sustainability. Whether through our STEAM initiatives, eco-projects, or digital learning environments, we equip students to think creatively, act ethically, and contribute meaningfully to a constantly evolving world.

Our vibrant events calendar, featuring cultural celebrations, well-being activities, coffee mornings with parents, leadership forums, inter-school competitions, and community partnerships, enriches school life by offering students opportunities to explore their passions and develop their talents.

 

Above all, Newlands is a community school built on strong relationships between students, families, and staff. It is a place where every child is known, valued, and supported to achieve their full potential.

 

I invite you to visit our campus, meet our students and staff, and experience firsthand what makes Newlands such a unique and inspiring place to learn.

 

Warm regards,
