VHPS – City of Arabia Update
We are delighted to share the latest progress on our exciting new project:
  • The bulk of the exterior concrete and steel structure is now in place, and we are moving on to glazing and interior fit-out. Construction is on track to be completed on schedule, well ahead of our planned opening in August 2025.
  • Interest in the new school continues to grow, with a large number of families already committed to joining as founding members. Families are drawn by VHPS’s excellent reputation at Sports City, as well as the convenient location behind IMG Worlds (opposite Arabian Ranches III).
  • Admissions are led by Penny Storey, who brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the process.
  • Recruitment of new staff has begun. We are thrilled to announce the appointment of a passionate Head of Early Years from another Outstanding school in Dubai.
  • This week, we announced that Rob McCall will be moving to the new school as Deputy Headteacher.
  • In the coming weeks, more staff members will be revealed on our Instagram channels.
Exciting times ahead as we build a vibrant new community together! If you are interested in moving your child to VHPS City of Arabia for the next academic year – please contact Penny at admissions@vhprimarycoa.ae
