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
Parent Liaison
If you have any questions or would like to discuss anything, Emma, our Parent Liaison, will be available at FS every Wednesday morning. Feel free to stop by for any parent enquiries you may have.

Important Reminders

FS Drop-Off Reminder: FS children should be dropped off at the Primary School, and they will be taken back to FS via the school bus.

Uniform Standards
Please ensure all children adhere to the school uniform policy, including official school hoodies and fleeces. Let us work together to keep everyone looking sharp and representing our school with pride!

Road Safety
For students biking or using electric scooters, please remember to follow road safety guidelines and wear helmets. Safety first! Please talk to your children about how they are using scooters in their communities too.

We are looking forward to another fantastic term filled with learning, growth, and fun! As always, thank you for your continued support.

Warm regards,

VHPS Team
