VHPS City of Arabia Admissions Now Open for 2025–2026
We were delighted to host a large number of our founding families for the City of Arabia campus at a coffee morning at Maison Mathis on Thursday. It was wonderful to see that an incredible community is already building.
We were also pleased to be able to announce our new Head of Foundation Stage at City of Arabia, Ms Natalie Doidge, who joins us from Nord Anglia Dubai, where she holds the same position. We also introduced Ms Fiona McLaren, who joins us from Brighton College, Dubai, as our Art/Music specialist teacher.
If you are considering transferring your child to the VHPS City of Arabia campus for the upcoming academic year (2025–2026), please contact Emma at admissions@vhprimarycoa.ae

Please see the link here for the next academic year.
Reminders:
  • Please ensure your child brings a hat to school everyday. Without one, they will not be allowed outside to play.
  • Please ensure children wear their PE/Swimming kits on their allocated days. Check your child’s class timetable if unsure.
  • All personal items (water bottles, hats, lunchboxes, etc.) should be clearly labelled with your child’s name.
  • If your child is absent, please inform the school reception by 8:00 AM on the day of absence.
  • Reading with your child at home each evening is essential, even ten minutes a day makes a difference
Thank you for your continued support and engagement with all aspects of school life. We look forward to another productive and positive week ahead.
Kind regards,
Team VHPS
