Welcome to Al Ain English Speaking School

Primary School 

The Early Years Foundation Stage includes our Nursery and Reception classes and is the period of education from 3 to 5 years old. At Al Ain English Speaking School, we understand that the early years of a child’s life are crucial to their development and their perception of school. The Foundation Stage teachers, along with their learning support assistants, aim to make each child’s introduction to school a positive, stimulating and exciting experience.

We understand the importance of seeing each child as an individual and allowing them to grow and develop in different ways and at different rates. We value independence and see each child as an active participant in their learning. We provide them with opportunities to explore and understand the world around them and help extend on their learning.

The children in Foundation Stage have the opportunity to attend specialist subjects within their school week with specialist teachers for ICT, Music, PE and Arabic.
We know that children learn to be strong and independent from a base of a loving and secure relationship with their parents. Parents are every child’s first teacher and to ensure that they get the best from school it is important to have parents’ support and participation in their child’s learning. We use our weekly ‘Parents and Teachers Home Support’ (PATHS) letters as a way to keep you up to date with our focuses in class and provide you with ideas to support your child’s learning at home.
