Dear Parents, Guardians and Carers,
On behalf of all of the Primary Staff Team we would like to
take this opportunity to extend a very special welcome to
each and every one of you. We are extremely proud to be a
part of this school team and to work as a member of our
school family in partnership with children, parents, staff
and the wide community.
AAESS Primary is a child centred school. We recognise that
every child is an individual and that learning is a very
personal experience. Our school is a unique community of
learners. All the actions we take have the best interests of
the children in mind – ensuring they receive their
entitlement to the highest level of education possible,
regardless of race, gender, religion or individual learning
needs.
We believe that teaching is not the imparting of knowledge
but the enabling of children to take responsibility for
their own learning. Our aim is to provide an environment
where every child feels it is safe to try something new,
safe to make a mistake and safe to succeed. All our children
have the opportunity to develop as a valued member of the
school. We aim for academic excellence, as shown in our end
of year results, and celebrate effort and achievement with
equal enthusiasm.
We believe that children work better and learn more
effectively in a happy atmosphere based upon courtesy and
respect for one another. Children need to have choices, but
they also need boundaries and therefore, our positive
discipline policy is based upon firmness, fairness and
understanding. Each of us strives to set an example for
others by treating everyone with respect and politeness.
Assessment for Learning forms part of the daily life of our
school. Data from a number of sources, including children’s
self and peer assessment, is used to help develop policy and
practice. Such data provides useful information, which can
then be used to inform the ongoing process of curriculum
development and lead to the further raising of educational
standards. The importance of such information must not, and
should not, be underestimated - though at AAESS Primary we
passionately believe that some of the most valuable outcomes
of primary education, such as fun, enjoyment, friendship and
personal achievement cannot be so easily measured.
As members of the global community we have come together at
AAESS from all four corners of the earth. Our school culture
and curriculum is one which welcomes and celebrates the
richness and diversity of everyone it embraces. We accept
our responsibility to challenge prejudice and to learn
tolerance and respect through understanding. Our school does
not exist in isolation but is a fundamental part of the
lives of many of the people of Al Ain. Therefore, our long
term goal is to develop into a centre of learning for the
community we serve.
At AAESS Primary we firmly believe that it is the uniqueness
of each and every one of us that can bring us closer
together as a school family and which will help each child
take his or her place as a citizen of the world.
We are proud of our children and always pleased to make new
friends. If you wish to pay us a visit, you're always sure
to be made most welcome.
Kind regards,
