Message From The Head of Primary

 

HEad of primary
Alison Dawson
Welcome to our primary school, a place where you and your child will find your community. 

I am privileged to lead RWA Primary and welcome you to a community that is truly international in outlook, people and aspirations. RWA brings together families from across the world, creating a place where different cultures, languages and perspectives are celebrated through the IB philosophy of learning. 

Care and inclusion sit at the heart of everything that we do. We know each child as an individual, holding high expectations for all learners while recognising that success looks different for everyone. Our enthusiastic, dedicated team builds strong, positive relationships with children and families, grounded in trust and shared commitment to empowering everyone to Rise, Wonder & Achieve — our celebrated tagline. 

Outstanding primary education begins with knowing each child well; happy children are ready to learn, to connect and to take risks. We develop a sense of belonging, celebrate individuality, and help every child know that the people around them believe in them, building the confidence, curiosity and genuine love of learning that will support their transition into secondary education. 

Our Primary Years Programme nurtures inquiring, knowledgeable learners who question, explore and think deeply while appreciating and accepting differences. From the early years, our students develop both English and Arabic, adding Spanish or French from Grade 1. There are also opportunities to develop many of the mother tongues celebrated across our community. 

Learning extends beyond the classroom too. Our students explore and excel on the sports field, on stage and canvas with opportunities and competitions that build confidence, character and skill. Our curriculum is enhanced through thoughtfully planned trips in Dubai, the UAE and internationally, providing wonderful opportunities to deepen understanding. 

At RWA Primary we Rise, Wonder & Achieve;  rising to challenges, wondering about the world and Striving for our personal best. I am excited about what we will achieve together.
