Primary Head Teacher

It has been an absolutely fantastic year in the Primary School. We have achieved so much together and it has been a real pleasure to watch your children grow, develop and thrive across the year. We h ave enjoyed many events as a school community and a highlight for all of us has been welcoming you back into our school building without restrictions, to enjoy large scale community events such as Intern ational Day and the community iftar We h ave also enjoyed seeing you at more personal events too, such as o ur regular Parent Shares, coffee mo rnings and workshops. We are hugely grateful for the support that you have shown us as a school and I know that as go into our next academic year, our DIS community spirit will continue to go from strength to strength

We h ave all felt a sense of pride to ach ieve such a fantastic outcome in this year ’s KHDA inspection and to be judged as “Outstanding ” is a won derful accolade for the school. However, the true measure of our success is the engagement and happiness of our pupils and the impact that this has on their learning and overall development There have been many opportunities this year, fo r children to learn beyond th e classroom and get involved in activities that really do enhance the student’s learner attributes; the school residentials and field trips are an example of this provision and we look forward to ho sting more opportunities next year.

As we come to the end of the year, I hope that you will enjoy this year book and treasure it as a wonderful remind er of how far your child has come and the joy that they have experienced at Deira Intern ational School. We have many plans for developing the quality of our educational provision even further in coming months and years and I feel genuine excitement about how this will impact furth er on our pupils; your children.
