It gives me great pleasure to share the latest edition of 'The Book'. As always, 'The Book' celebrates the goings on throughout the year at Kings' School Al Barsha and highlights how many opportunities our school offers.
'The Book' is here to help our younger students to get excited by what's to come and to enable older students to look back fondly on activities and opportunities that they took part in over the year.
It has been another busy year at Kings'. For those reading this edition, I urge you to get inspiration from those that have gone before you, the experiences that they have involved themselves in, and I encourage you to take part in something new next year.
Your school is full of opportunities, take advantage of them!
Rebecca Gray Principal
It has been a privilege as always to spend the academic year with the students, watching them grow and learn in so many different ways, teaching the adults around them just as much as the adults teach them. The cohort I taught in FS1 in my first year with Kings' are now moving on to Year 7, leaving their primary school life behind them.
It is incredible to see how they have grown into resilient, confident, inspiring young people, ready to take on the next chapter in their education, with the firm footing of Kings' driving them to be the very best they can!
Rebecca Tennant Primary Deputy Headteacher
Exceptional schools like Kings' School Al Barsha offer opportunities that allow all students to develop their skills and personalities inside and outside the classroom. Whether a student is passionate about developing in sport, music, drama or through the Duke of Edinburgh programme or an academic society, a vast array of opportunities are available day in, day out.
'The Book' demonstrates once again that Kings' School Al Barsha lives up to its mission of providing "The Best By Every Child".
I hope you enjoy reading and reliving some of the highlights of another exceptional year.
Paul Taylor Secondary Headteacher
I am thrilled to reflect on yet another year of resounding success and unwavering dedication from our entire community here at Kings’ School Al Barsha.
Our commitment to academic excellence has lead to outstanding results from our students once again and, as always, students have actively engaged in a diverse range of extracurricular activities, including sports, arts, and community service initiatives fostering their personal growth and instilling qualities such as leadership, teamwork, and compassion.
I am immensely proud of the achievements of our students, teachers, staff, and parents here at Kings’. It is through their collective efforts and unwavering dedication that we have once again realised an outstanding year filled with growth, accomplishments, and lasting memories.
Louise Rolf Secondary Deputy Headteacher
As the academic year draws to a close, I find myself filled with a sense of joy, reflecting on the incredible journey we have embarked upon together.
Our students have done us proud! Being able to witness their growth both academically and personally has led to many outstanding achievements for our students this year.
The dedication and resilience to learn, grow in confidence, and to succeed; as well as make lifetime memories with their friends and teachers, makes Kings' School Al Barsha a very special place. In this end-of-year book, we celebrate the accomplishments of our students and the indomitable spirit that has made this year truly exceptional.
We express our heartfelt gratitude to our students for their unwavering commitment, their thirst for knowledge, and their incredible achievements. We also extend our gratitude to our dedicated teachers, supportive parents, and the entire Kings’ Al Barsha community.
Thank you all for a fantastic year!

It was wonderful to welcome new staff members to Kings' School Al Barsha this academic year.
They joined us from all corners of the world, and their skills and talents are a great addition to the Kings' family.
On behalf of us all, we hope you enjoyed your first year with us!
At Kings' School Al Barsha, we are fortunate to have a significant number of longstanding staff members.
Loyal and committed employees are the foundation to any successful organisation
and we appreciate their contribution and dedication year after year. For all those staff members who reached their 5, 10, and 15-year milestone with Kings' this academic year, we were thrilled once again to present a gift of our appreciation.
I felt a huge rush of excitement run through me when I was announced Primary Head Girl this year.
I was so excited and proud to be given the opportunity to give back to the Kings' community that has supported me since Foundation Stage and, which has shaped me into the person I am today.
To me, the best thing about Kings' is the diversity and inclusion that comes with being a student here. I really love that we get the
opportunity to make friends with people from all over the world, that we integrate with students from all year groups and those on Alternative Pathways. We learn so much from our peers as well as from the staff!
Kings' has helped me so much throughout the years and I am really looking forward to seeing what it has to offer to us in Secondary too.
Lilia Primary Head Girl
The moment I found out I had been appointed Primary Head Boy was one of the most exhilarating moments of my year.
It has been an amazing experience with lots of new responsibilities and opportunities. I have met many new people and made many new friends. I think, as a student leadership team, we have contributed very well to the Kings' ethos, “The best by Every Child”.
A highlight of the year for me would be the Year 6 residential because I was given the chance to collaborate with others and complete a variety of exciting tasks which
helped me to develop lots of new skills. There have been many more momentous events this year too, such as the BSME Games, House day, and International Day.
I would like to thank all of the students and teachers who have helped and supported me throughought my journey at Kings' and I am very exited to see what Secondary has to offer next year.
Seif Primary Head Boy
This year has been one to remember and the memories we have made will certainly resonate with me in years to come.
The impact we have had as a leadership team could not have been made without the incredible support we have had from the Kings’ community.
We began by re-establishing the successful committees of last year. In collaboration with the PTA, we helped organise the Winter Fayre. We also celebrated the cultures of our diverse community through International Day, and the beautiful country we are so fortunate to be a part of through National Day.
It has been exciting to watch the new school extension being built! Indeed, the Engineering and Architecture Society students, including
myself, were fortunate enough to visit the construction site of the expansion. It was incredible to see how Kings’ will grow and change over the coming years, and the hard work behind the scenes to make it happen! This year, the new Maths block opened and has given us a taste of what is to come in September.
At the end of this year, we will also be saying goodbye to our extraordinary principal, Ms. Gray, who has created a legacy and impact felt by every student, teacher, and parent. The future is exciting and we, as the leadership team, have been so privileged to be a part of the Kings' legacy.
Well done everyone for such a brilliant year! This has left us more ambitious and excited for what we can do next year!
Lauren Secondary Head Girl
What a journey year this has been!
We kicked off the year still wearing face masks and then thankfully transitioned back to normality a few short months later.
The impact of Covid, however, was not so quick to leave; consequently, the focus of the Student Leadership Team this year was to reignite that sense of unity throughout the school and between year groups, and I am proud to say that we accomplished a lot to bring us closer.
This academic year has been a year of kindness to others. Led by our Charity and Events Committees, we worked together to raise a collective 26,000AED to donate to Emirates Red Crescent to aid the families in Syria and Turkey affected by the devastating earthquakes. Furthermore, this Ramadan,
the Charity Committee ran an Eid drive for our support staff with generous donations coming from across the school, helping the very people who make our school comfortable and safe.
We also hosted the second annual Kings’ Splash event, leaving everyone excited to come in to school and, most importantly, leaving Mrs Gray and Mr Taylor soaking wet! With the commencement of GCSEs and A Levels, the Wellbeing Committee organised a Wellbeing Week to create a safe and supportive space for students to find ways to manage their emotions through mindful activities, sport, and reflection.
We are truly proud of the kind and brave students and staff here at Kings’, and couldn’t be more excited for what next year brings.
Omar Secondary Head Boy
Having joined Kings’ School
Al Barsha in FS1, I have been given many opportunities over the years to grow, learn, and try new things, but Year 6 has been, by far, the most memorable of them all!
Firstly, I was so proud to be selected Primary Deputy Head Girl and thoroughly enjoyed working with the Primary Leadership Team and to put forward ideas of my own for school improvements and to give back to the Kings’ community.
Year 6 was a year of incredible opportunities for me as I was a part of the Show Choir, Art Club, Swim Squad, and BSME Games in
Abu Dhabi. I love having the opportunity to represent the school and each of these gave me that.
We also had a fun-filled residential, which allowed us the time to build our confidence, skills, and team spirit. Our experiences throughout primary wouldn't have been the same if it wasn't for our amazing teachers, who have always supported and encouraged us to realise our potential.
I now look forward to new and exciting experiences in Year 7!
Hana Primary Deputy Head Girl
This year, one of my highlights was the process of applying for and being appointed Primary Deputy Head Boy.
I thoroughly enjoyed creating my letter of application and delivering a presentation about why I felt I would be a strong leader. It has been a wonderful experience working with the student leadership team, supported by the staff leadership team, to make Kings' even better.
Another highlight, and proud moment, for me was being a tour guide for the school during
our open days. I really enjoyed having the opportunity to meet different families and show them around our wonderful school.
It has been a great final year of primary and I am looking forward to using even more of our amazing school facilities as I move up to Year 7, including the secondary science labs and the design and technology suites.
Martin Primary Deputy Head Boy
Reflecting on my year in Year 7, I can confidently say that it has been a remarkable journey filled with growth, new experiences, and valuable lessons.
Transitioning from primary school to secondary school was both exciting and nerve-wracking, but I have come to appreciate the opportunities and challenges that came my way.
Beyond the classroom, I embraced the chance to participate in extracurricular activities and clubs. Whether it was joining the school choir,
taking part in sports teams, or engaging in creative arts projects, these activities allowed me to discover new passions and connect with like-minded peers.
They not only enriched my school experience but also helped me develop teamwork, leadership, and communication skills.
Harriet Year 7 Student
My Year 7 experience was scary at first as I came from a new school and new country but within the first few weeks I had found my friends and started a new sport.
It has equipped me with essential skills, introduced me to incredible friendships, and nurtured a love for learning and personal growth.
I am grateful for the guidance and support of my teachers, who have been instrumental in my Year 7 journey. Their dedication,
enthusiasm, and encouragement have inspired me to strive for excellence and pursue my passions.
I am also thankful to my parents and family for their unwavering support and belief in my abilities
Hadi Year 7 StudentWhile this year marked my journey through Year 12, it was also the start of my journey at Kings' School Al Barsha.
Though ultimately rewarding, this year has proven to be incredibly challenging and has pushed me both personally and academically. Leaving my old school was daunting since it forced me to step outside my comfort zone, but I was overwhelmed by the friendships formed and support received at Kings' from students and teachers alike.
Even with the ups and downs of mock season, I have felt continual support in school and in all of my academic pursuits. In the future,
I plan on studying Philosophy, Politics and Economics in the UK. My passion for these subjects has been so deeply nurtured inside the classroom here, and Kings' has given me the intellectual freedom and curiosity to explore different career paths.
Ultimately, it was attending the seniors’ graduation that made me realise how quickly the year had gone by, and how soon I will be in the same position. While attending university has its own excitement, a part of me is dreading leaving the community that has taken me in with such warmth and kindness.
Sophya Year 12 StudentOf my 8 years at Kings’, Year 12 has been the most transformative for me, on both an academic and an individual level.
While for others, it was overwhelming to suddenly gain so much independence at the beginning of the year, I adapted quickly to the new Sixth Form routine. However, I encountered challenges in my role as Council Secretary in the Student Leadership team; I had to learn how to communicate effectively with many different people across the team to coordinate planning and events.
This journey culminated with our annual Kings’ Splash event, where we raised AED 26,000 through ticket sales along with fundraising by the Charity Committee for earthquake relief in
Syria and Turkey. Upon entering Year 12, I didn’t have a clear idea of what I wanted to do in the future as I had many different interests across a wide range of my A Level choices. Yet, throughout the year I was encouraged to further explore these interests to ensure that I make informed decisions when it comes time to university applications.
Through a “Topical Tuesday” presentation to Year 12, participating in a student essay competition, and attending an MUN conference in Italy, I was able to solidify my future aspirations as I now wish to study Political Science at university in Canada.
Overall, it’s been a great year for me and I am very excited for Year 13.

Neha is an exceptional student: she is self-motivated, highly able, and diligent with a real determination to succeed. Her attitude to learning is exemplary, and she had a friendly, helpful, nurturing attitude.
Neha frequently goes beyond her sixth form requirements as she fully embraces the school community. She is a born leader and inspires others in all areas of school, she is an outstanding public speaker. Neha has helped run the Talk with Kings’ programme in school where she leads students through the speech writing process and coached the students to deliver speeches in a captivating manner.
Neha is also co-president of the Senior Law Society, and launched our Junior Law Society, refining her teaching skills and aiming the debates at a younger cohort. Additionally, Neha is an active member of the school Model
United Nations and she earned her place as Council Secretary on the Sixth Form Student Leadership Team in Year 12, whereby she demonstrated her ability to bring a team together, communicate visions and outcomes to the whole school through the development of the new Student Leadership website. Neha articulates her thoughts and ideas in an engaging manner and this role allowed her natural leadership qualities to shine through.
Neha’s maturity, determination, and confidence make her an excellent candidate for any university. She has her sights set on attending the University of Edinburgh to study English Literature and History. I have no doubt she will surpass expectations set and she will relish in the opportunity to interact with academics in these fields.
It is without any hesitation that a student who has consistently demonstrated her ambition to be the best, coupled with the desire to make the school a better place, be the receiver of this award.
Every new beginning comes from some other new beginning's end.

Congratulations to our Class of 2023! We were honoured to celebrate their incredible achievements at our Graduation Ceremony at The Waldorf Astoria.
Without doubt, they have all worked extremely hard to accomplish this milestone, and we commend our Year 13's for surviving the challenges of A Levels and BTEC. The level of rigour that comes with preparing for these courses and exams is intense, and yet they persevered. They demonstrated admirable resilience, and we are incredibly proud of each and every one of them.
As a cohort, this special group of young people had such a positive impact on our school community, and we will always cherish this.
As they now embark on this new and exciting chapter of their lives at university, I encourage our Year 13s to make the most of this experience; to take risks, and never stop learning. I am confident that through their time at Kings’, they have acquired the skills and fortitude to navigate the road ahead into adulthood and their future career.
To quote Mrs Gray, ‘Once a Kingsonion, always a Kingsonion!’
Natasha Ringshaw Head of Sixth Form
It has been a real pleasure getting to know you all; my regret, however, is that I was your form tutor for only one year. If I could offer you only one tip for the next chapter of your life, be kind. The long-term benefits of kindness have been proven by scientists to help oneself and others.
Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life. The most interesting people I know didn't know at 18 what they wanted to do with their lives; some of the most interesting 40-year-olds I know still don't!
Don't worry about the future; but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by eating shawarma with
chips! Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself either. Your choices are half chance, so are everybody else's.
Don't waste your time on jealousy; sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind. The race is long and, in the end, it's only with yourself. Just remember, many things that seem threatening in the dark become welcoming when we shine a light on them.
I bid you farewell and wish you the best of luck in the days ahead. And remember, be kind.
Amardeep Sanghera
13K Form Tutor
Thank you for playing such an integral part of my day at Kings’ for the past two years. I will be eternally grateful to each and every one of you for filling my mornings with entertainment and happiness. You are truly special students who will grow into exceptional people.
Take all of the opportunities life gives you with the knowledge that you are strong and talented
individuals, who have the potential to overcome life’s adversities and thrive in this challenging and ever-changing world.
I wish you the best of luck for the future!
Elizaveta Uskova 13I Form Tutor
13N: it has been a short but sweet journey with you all. I couldn’t have asked for a better form group! Each of you have grown so much during your time in Sixth Form. You have built the resilience and determination to go out into the world and get what you want and deserve. Keep that 'go-getter' attitude and you will conquer the world!
Remember to be kind to those you cross paths with, make the most of every opportunity, and become rich by travelling the world and saying yes to those once in a lifetime experiences.
Thank you for brightening up my mornings every day and bringing a smile to my face. It has been an absolute pleasure being your form tutor and seeing you prepare for the next chapter in your life. I wish you all the very best and cannot wait to see where your journey takes you.
Good Luck 13N!

October marked Breast Cancer Awareness Month and the school community came together in a show of pink to raise awareness and demonstrate their support for those affected by the disease.
Donations were raised for Brest Friends - an organisation working closely with the Al Jalila
Foundation, dedicated to increasing awareness and funding education and research as well as offering emotional and financial support to patients with breast cancer.
Students enjoyed activities in their classrooms, such as collaging pink ribbons to mark the occasion.
On 8th March, students joined people around the world to celebrate International Women's Day. Each school entrance featured boards upon which, students, staff, and parents
were invited to write messages to, or about, women who have stood out to them, who have inspired, guided, supported, or cared for them, as well as to share motivational messages.

The whole school community came together on 14th November to recognise Odd Sock Day, now a regular feature of Anti-Bullying Week. We invited all members of our school community to wear odd socks to celebrate their individuality and recognise that all of us are unique.
This year's theme for Anti-Bullying Week was 'Reach Out', with a focus on how everyone in our school community has the ability to reach
out to others who may need help, or indeed a friend. Students spent time in assemblies and in wellbeing lessons to consider how they could reach out to others throughout their school day and was encouraged to 'call out with kindness' when they saw someone wearing odd socks.
This year, Odd Sock Day coincided with the school colour-run to make an even bigger splash on campus!

During March, we spent a week celebrating all things literary for Kings' School Al Barsha's LitFest Week.
In the primary school, students were treated to a visit from MC Grammar, who delighted the crowds with entertaining raps about different grammatical features; even the teachers showed us their rapping skills! For weeks leading up to the event, each year group was given a song, which linked to a grammar skill, and had dedicated time to learn it off by heart. On the day, the atmosphere in the auditorium was electric!
Students in Years 7, 8, and 9 were invited to wear costumes inspired by the 'Mystery' genre.
To further explore and appreciate the genre, students took part in a number of activities throughout, including Missing Teacher, Escape Room, Where's Wally, and the 10 mysteryinspired pledges across 10 subjects. Back by popular demand, we hosted our annual spelling bee and speech competition too.
To help those in more deprived parts of the world, we supported the 'Old Books with New Eyes' initiative and invited students to collect books to donate to Kenya. This helped students to not only understand the importance of access to books but to appreciate the role of social responsibility.
Adam Year 4 Class
Everyone looked amazing in their rapper outfits. We spent a couple of weeks learning our song and the auditorium was buzzing when we performed it!
I can't believe MC Grammar visited us! It was such a cool experience. My favourite part was when the teachers had to get up on stage and perform nursery rhymes in the style of a rap.
Students showcased their creative talents during this year's Arts Week and collaboratively transformed Kings' School Al Barsha into an artistic oasis to share with our community:
FS1 - Artwork using threads, inspired by the book "ish" by Peter Reynolds
FS2 - Circular Artwork, based on the book "The Dot" by Peter Reynolds
Year 1 - Flowers with paint, inspired by Georgia O'Keeffe
Year 2 - Bee sketches, inspired by the concept of 'Responsibility'
Year 3 - Rainforest animals depicted in pastels
Year 4 - Viking longboats using a variety of media and materials
Year 5 - Chalk drawings and marbling linked to space, within the concept of 'Discovery'
Year 6 - Graffiti art inspired by Banksy and within the concept of 'Conflict'
Arts Week is my favourite week of the whole entire year!
Saif Year 1 Class
Arts Week is so cool and fun, I loved creating my rainforest art work.

The school year kicked off with an extraordinary experience as our students embarked on an artistic journey with renowned fine artist, Ian Murphy, who flew in all the way from the UK.
In collaboration with our GCSE, A Level, and Art Scholars, Ian led an inspiring workshop
that pushed creative boundaries and expanded artistic horizons.
Our talented young artists delved confidently into the realm of mixed media, exploring new techniques and materials, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation of art.
The GCSE and A Level Art, Textiles, and Photography Exhibition showcased a remarkable display of creativity and talent. From vibrant paintings to intricate textiles and thought-provoking photographs.
The students' work pushed artistic boundaries and captivated all who attended. It was a proud moment that showcased students' unique perspectives and narratives, leaving a vibrant mark on our school community.
On November 3rd, we joined people across the nation to raise the UAE flag, sing the national anthem, and listen to Arabic poetry to celebrate Flag Day. The country’s flag is
one of many national symbols and each colour carries a different meaning; the red represents unity, the green prosperity, the white peace, and the black courage and power.
I am always so proud to represent the UAE on Flag Day.
Ibrahim Year 4 Class

5 Class
A wonderful chance for us to rediscover the history of the flag and its importance.
Our annual Kings' Community Iftar was once again held at The Atlantis during Ramadan. It was such a pleasure to see so many of our
families from many different cultures, come together to celebrate such an important time in the Muslim calendar.
One of the favourite days in our school calendar is National Day. It is always wonderful to see students and staff coming to school in traditional Emirati dress or proudly wearing the colours of the UAE flag to celebrate the country we all call home.
Throughout the day, students visited a host of stalls, enjoyed local delicacies and
entertainment, and completed a range of activities aimed at exploring the local culture and heritage of the UAE.
It was particularly special being able to open this year's event to all of our community in the morning and we are already looking forward to next year's celebration, which we know will be just as amazing.
I really enjoyed everything about National Day!
Taym Year 2 Class
National day was really fun, I enjoyed visiting the stalls and having henna on my hand.
Alyson
Year 5 Class
I enjoyed learning about the local culture and sampling the food.

The Quran competition was an incredible experience, immersing us in the beauty of recitation and memorisation of the divine verses. The atmosphere was incredible and
made more special with the support of our communit of parents. The personal growth that the students experienced was truly unforgettable and transformative.
International Day is a firm favourite at King' School Al Barsha; a day when all members of our school community come together, proudly dressed to represent their home country in either national dress or colours that represent
their flag. This year was no exception; the school entrance was adorned with many stalls representing different countries and families enjoyed a whole host of activities and tasty treats for all to sample.

WOW! What a week we had watching secondary students compete for their houses in their first Colour Run. They painted the place red, blue, yellow, green, and pretty much every other shade under the sun! It was great to see our
fantastic team of Sports Leaders getting stuck in and throwing paint at the participants and to see our House Captains leading their teams, making sure they got all the encouragement they needed to complete the run.
Lara Year 7 Class
I loved the colour run, it was great to be challenged with my house to score points.
I really enjoyed running around the campus whilst staff and sports leaders threw powder at us.
Zaid Year 7 Class
It was so much fun running around trying to get our tops caked in as much colour as possible!
Adam Year 10 Class
Our primary House Day was a highlight of the year, with students spending the day making friends with others in their houses from across the primary phase. Students earned house points for competing in challenges such as spaghetti and marshmallow tower building, obstacle races, and mascot design competitions.
Students also learned and performed their very own house chants, written by the Head of Primary Music, Miss Jooles.
It was brilliant to see our older students being such supportive and encouraging role models to our younger learners.
Victor Year 3 Class
House Day was really fun because we could play games and meet other people in our house to find out more about them. We worked together as a team so that we could try and be the best. We made the tallest spaghetti and marshmallow tower!
The best thing about House Day was that we worked within our houses and played games. We also had lots of fun doing it.
Sukiana
Year 5 Class
I liked House Day because we got to make lots of new friends and we bonded with other year groups.

This year, dancers from both the primary and secondary school have represented Kings' School Al Barsha in a number of dance events and competitions. Our Year 7 and 8 dance squad, Regality, performed at the DASSA Desert Dance Showcase and our Year 5 and 6 dance squad, Relentless, competed at the UDO Dubai Schools Dance Championships, alongside
our Key Stage Four dance squad, Regality Elite. In March, we held our first whole-school dance show, Art in Motion, and saw dancers from FS1 to Year 11 showcase the fantastic work they have been developing in dance clubs, GCSE dance lessons, and with our external providers.
Well done to all involved!
Our FS2 students wowed the audience with their Winter performance of Ralph the Reindeer. Despite the snowy auditorium stage setting, the families in the audience were
warmed by the incredible confidence the students showed when speaking, singing, and dancing on the stage. A truly festive treat for all.
I got to use a microphone to say my lines. It made it so loud so my mummy could hear me.

It was fun to wear a costume and be on stage with all my friends.

Year 7 participated in 'Kings' Den' (A Dragon's Den spin off!) to compete against each other to sell the short story they had written in English. Our 8 finalists: Christopher, Naeel, Joseph, Aadya, Samir, Samuel, Alana and
Asya showed their bravery by pitching their book to the whole of Year 7 in the auditorium. In the end, Naeel took the crown for his short story 'The Flip Side' but all participants were outstanding. Well done!
Samuel Year11 October 2022
This year in English, our students across primary and secondary took part in a competition hosted by Emirates Literature Festival called "Poetry 4 All". The competition involves students learning a range of poems, by writers such as William Blake, and selecting their favourite to recite, from heart, in front of a large audience.
Our Primary finalist was Lara El Khouri from 5CKE and our Secondary finalist was Jasmine Werkhoven from Year 8. These impressive young students competed with students across Dubai and showed immense skill, confidence
and bravery on stage. We were incredibly proud of everyone that took part which is why we ran internal poetry competitions during assembly, too. Seven fantastic Year 7 pupils took part in the internal Poetry 4 All competition and performed in front of the entire year group!
A massive well done to: Havana (7K), Siya (7B), Mir (7A), Aanya (7I), Aadya (7I) and Alana (7A). And a huge congratulations to Hadi (7S) who won the competition!
Well done to everyone involved.
This experience gave me an opportunity to put a business case together about a book i wrote and to present it to my peers, it was nerve-wracking an exciting all at once!
Aria Year 4 Class
I love performing in our big auditorium. It's really special whenever my parents come to see me. I also love singing with my friends.

Spotlight on Sevens is a musical performance that gives Year 7 students the opportunity to shine on stage. Year 7 sang beautifully as an ensemble and a few of our students showed amazing bravery by performing solos.
A fantastic effort from all of Year 7 and special thank you to our amazing soloists: Adam (7I),
Kayla (7G), Omar (7G), Keyan (7L), Natalija (7I), Shanaya (7L), Havana (7K), Ates (7A), Hadi (7S), Taymour (7K), Alana (7S), Gabriella (7A), Joseph (7K) and Asya (7B).
I love the dress rehearsals and the excitement that builds a few days before we go on stage. For sure it is a bit nerve-wracking but how else are we going to learn?
Thomas Year 7 Class
6 - 7 December 2022
To celebrate the winter festive season, our primary art, music and drama students came together to deliver a wonderful performance, celebrating world peace. Through poetry, dance and song, our 3 choirs, school orchestra, dance
troupes and art clubs joined forces to bring the audience on a magical winter journey. This concert is uniquely designed to celebrate the dedication of all music, drama and art students who commit to our weekly E.C.A. activities.
Ryan Year 6 Class
For me, it's just the fun of sharing our work with other groups. I love seeing the drama groups and other clubs performing. It makes me feel happy to be part of a bigger team.
5 February 2023
This was a special moment for our Year 3 and 4 Joy Choir who performed at the Big Sing Emirates Literature Festival. Held at the International Festival Plaza hotel, our young
songbirds celebrated the fun words and music of Roal Dahl and received a warm and rousing applause in doing so. An amazing experience for our young singing stars!
I had never sung on stage before but it was really good fun and when the audience clapped at the end, I knew we had smashed it!
Elizaveta Year 3 Class
I felt a little nervous the night before the event but when we got on stage, I felt absolutely amazing! I thought my heart might burst.
To sing at the Emirates Lit Fest felt really exciting for me. I am so proud to be a member of Joy Choir. I think we represented our school and families really well.

Our Year 5 and 6 Show Choir had the incredible opportunity to join a mass choir with other schools in Dubai, singing a programme of original songs at Dubai Expo Wasl Plaza in
March. Such an exciting experience, our Show Choir represented our school with confidence, talent, and enthusiasm. What a day!
I have loved performing with the Show Choir this year and it has been a great way to make musical friends. I have started writing songs and hope next year, we can perform some of them.
Laibah Year 5 Class
Being a member of Show Choir has been a wonderful experience. I have enjoyed learning new songs and performing as part of a mass choir with other schools at Al Wasl Plaza in Expo City for the Big Sing Festival.
Being in Show Choir is one of my favourite musical activities. Through our twice-weekly rehearsals, I have made many new friends from Year 5 and 6. I have loved singing different harmonies and hearing the power of our collective vocals.
Elisa Year 6 ClassIt was wonderful to see our students take to the stage for the Musical Showcase. There were fantastic performances from a range of students from Year 7 to Sixth Form. Students had been working exceptionally hard to bring the musical numbers to life and thrilled the
audience with songs from fantastic shows such as Matilda and Little Shop of Horrors. Kings' alumni also returned to take part, demonstrating that a love for Kings' is something that stays with you long after you move on.
17 March 2023
The Kings’ Olympics is an annual track and field event that involves the three Kings' schools competing against each other in a single day. The event features a range of athletic events, including sprints, long-distance running, shot put, high jump, and nerf throw. The three Kings' schools have some fantastic athletes, and the
Kings’ Olympics provides a platform for the students to showcase their athletic abilities and school pride. Support from parents, teachers, and the students was fantastic throughout the day and it was amazing to see the determined performances and sportsmanship on show. A huge well done to all who took part.
Henry Year 6 Class
I really enjoyed competing against the other Kings' schools and particularly liked the sprint races.
Mariah
Year 5 Class
It was great getting to compete in so many different events and the support was amazing!
Yo ho ho! Our awesome FS1, FS2, and Year 1 pirates sailed through several physical challenges and obstacles to earn their treasure in this year’s sports day events. Our students practiced their throwing, jumping, and running skills in PE lessons to show off their amazing abilities in front of their parents on the big day!
With a heave and a ho, and plenty of hard work, they conquered.
A huge thank you to parents and families who came in huge numbers to support and to our wonderful secondary Sports Leaders who helped to run our pirate challenges.
I loved racing against my friends.
Shahaan FS1 Class
I liked having family there to watch me and dressing up.
Our Year 2 students took to the field donning their respective house colours for their annual sports day event. After a guard of honour arrival from the very supportive parent community, the Year 2's took part in several track and field events, showing a determination and desire to
earn points for their houses. The main event, our sprint race, also finished with a podium picture and celebration. Very well done to everyone in Year 2 for trying your absolute best and special congratulations to Stuart house who won the day’s competition.
Basel Year 2 Class
I loved the running races and competing for my house - go Stuart!
Issa Year 2 Class
I had so much fun and loved picking up the trophy at the end.
The Y3-Y6 track and field sports days were a fun-filled week of sports and competition. Students participated in various events such as sprints, long distance races, high jump, and shot put. The day began with an opening ceremony and a quick introduction before the competitions began. Students competed in their respective groupings, with many
impressive performances and close finishes. The atmosphere was electric as parents and teachers cheered on the students from the sidelines. After the intense competition, the event ended with the presentation of medals to the winners and the KSAB values trophies. Overall, it was a great day of sportsmanship and teamwork.
CJ 3CBA Class
I loved sports day because we got to try so many different activities and compete for our house. I loved the sprinting race the most.
Ella 3CCO Class
My favourite part of sports day is getting to have my parents there to support and racing against my friends.
In a whirlwind of excitement and athletic prowess, our secondary students proved their mettle on the field during this year's highly anticipated Sports Day. The sports fields arena came alive with the thunderous cheers and adrenaline-fueled performances as our talented athletes showcased their incredible skills in a range of track and field events.
The track became a stage for remarkable achievements and record-breaking moments, as our students sprinted, hurdled, and leaped
towards triumph. Each stride represented determination, dedication, and the indomitable spirit that defines our school's sporting culture.
Our sprinters left a blur in their wake, crossing the finish line with blazing speed and resolute determination. They pushed the boundaries of their limits, leaving no doubt that they were destined for greatness. With every stride, they inspired their fellow students and set a new standard for excellence.
We are so proud to run Talk with Kings' and give students the opportunity to speak with confidence, articulacy, and power about a topic that is meaningful to them. We have had a range of talks this year, including the danger of beauty standards, the celebration
of different cultures, and the importance of education for all. Words carry such power and it has been such a privilege to listen to such an impressive array of speeches and to have the joy of sharing this with the community.
Talk with Kings was a great experience for me. I learnt a lot of things. The teachers helped me understand how to deliver a speech. At first, I was a bit hesitant but soon, with practice, I became very confident. I also really enjoyed performing.
Daniyal Year 8 Class
In January, 64 Kings' students completed their Duke of Edinburgh Bronze and Silver Award adventurous journeys. For many, this has been the highlight of the award to date. It is a huge learning experience, having to cook for themselves, work together, navigate in unknown areas, and figure out how to set up a tent!
Whilst not having access to their electronic devices during the expedition, students had to use a map and compass to navigate throughout their journey. If the students did get lost, which some did, they needed to work together to
figure out where they were and what their next steps should be, whilst understanding the philosophy of “leave no trace”.
This opportunity gave students a huge step towards becoming independent, adaptable, and resilient individuals and enabled them to work on their teamwork, leadership, and communication skills.
This internationally-recognised award also gave the students a chance to further develop their CV and enhance their university applications.
The Duke of Edinburgh Award is an amazing experience and one that I would recommend to all. The memories I have made I will cherish forever. I would love to go back just to appreciate the stunning sunrise and sunset again.
The Duke of Edinburgh Award is one of the highlights of my life so far; the expedition made me feel alive. Climbing mountains at sunset and sunrise; the adrenaline of seeing so many stars and beautiful views; laughing with friends. Hiking seemed straightforward at first until we went off track for an hour. Fun times! I am already looking forward to completing Silver and Gold.
During Term 1, Year 6 visited The Adventure Centre in Hatta for their final primary residential. It consisted of two nights filled with water slides, rock climbing, new friendships, yummy food, and marshmallow toasting around the campfire! The students demonstrated many of the Kings’ learning dispositions whilst
on their residential, but risk-taking was the one that stood out the most. They approached each activity with confidence and a sense of adventure, in order to take themselves out of their comfort zone. Many fears were overcome and the students truly thrived outside of the classroom environment.
Aarav Year 6 Class
Our residential was a fun and exciting experience, we enjoyed a variety of activities and exhilarating tasks.
This trip proved that sometimes your biggest fear could be your new favourite hobby!
Belal Year 6 Class
It was the experience of a lifetime and I will remember it forever.
Seif
Year 6 Class
Term 2 saw the first of our overseas trips head out to Austria when 70 students left the warmth of Dubai for the minus temperatures of Bad Goisern for 7 days of snowboarding and skiing. Students navigated the beautiful area of Dachstein-West to push their physical limits
on the slopes. They embraced the challenges set by the ski school instructors and immersed themselves in the European culture during the evenings while enjoying a number of local delicacies and activities. The memories for all, will last a lifetime!
India Year 12 Class
The new friendships I have made are something that I'll cherish.
We've built memories that will last forever.
I have pushed myself to the limit, which at the time was scary, but so worth it in the end.
Amber Year 11 Class
February - 3 March 2023
For our second overseas trip of the year, 14 of our Year 12 students boarded a flight to Rome for an international Model United Nations conference. Over the 3-day conference, students worked with peers across the world to find effective solutions to key global issues, such as the Yemen crisis, water scarcity,
and the Kashmir border crisis. Students were fully immersed in the way the United Nation works and were challenged to develop their teamwork, public speaking, and debate skills. They even enjoyed experiencing the Mediterranean culture, exploring key tourist sites across Rome!
Yara Year 12 Class
A wonderful experience as I was able to gain a handful of skills over the three days whilst also exploring the surroundings.
I really appreciated the opportunity to work with people from different cultures around the world and to learn more about the key global issues affecting us today.
This year saw our first Mock Trial. Based on a UK fictional criminal case, students from years 7 to 12 played the parts of the judge, lawyers, accused, witnesses, and victim. Intellectually
tough, and requiring quick thinking, the evening saw our students tackle some complicated events and issues. The jury of peers took very little time in finding the accused innocent!
It was fascinating to see a case run from start to finish. I started out thinking that the accused was definitely guilty, but was so impressed with how the defence made their case.
14 November 2022
In November, an opportunity to visit Heriot-Watt University in Dubai arose for an insight into aerospace engineering, and it quickly became the perfect opportunity for an off-campus trip for the Year 12 Engineering Society members.
The event covered all the different aspects that go into the making of the planes we see in our skies, as well as the obstacles and innovation undertaken by those in the field.
After modelling (paper) aeroplanes and (prototype) F1 cars, students got the chance
to meet and speak to the team behind the Red Arrows, who form the aerobatics display team of the British Royal Air Force.
Being able to get first-hand experience from experts in the field of engineering, while being immersed in a university environment, provided students with an in-depth look into the future applications of their academics and passions, as well as pushing some to consider pursuing a career in flying jets.
Jumana Year 12 Class
The support from the experts from Rolls Royce, BAE Systems, and the Royal Air Force helped inform our vision of what it's like to actively contribute to fields we are all interested in. I am very grateful for the experience I’ve gained and thankful for the unforgettable interactions I’ve had with people in positions we aspire to fulfil.
This half term, Year 3 had the exciting opportunity to visit Al Zorah Nature Reserve in Ajman as part of their rainforest focus. The children arrived very excited and eager to start the activities. Throughout the day, they worked in teams that allowed them to develop their collaborations skills. They took part in two
activities, team building games and kayaking through the mangroves. Through exploring the mangroves, the children were able to develop their understanding of the forest and the wildlife that can be found there, as well as how important it is to look after the world around them.
Leann Year 3 Class
There were so many different creatures out in the mangroves. We saw different birds and insects along with dragonflies.
I never knew that places like this existed in the UAE. It was like another magical world! We had to work together as a team to kayak up the steam.
Budding Year 4 scientists enjoyed a day in the life of an F1 engineer! As part of the Dubai Enrichment League, we were invited to enter a team of four Year 4 students in to a local science competition.
They had the task of creating a balloonpowered car design and final product, using their prior knowledge of aerodynamics, streamline products, and friction to make a car that would travel faster and further than the other teams. They were also tasked with
making it look good, just like a real F1 car! Students spent the morning testing different prototypes and evaluating their changes before coming up with their final design. They demonstrated resilience when they realised that their straw wasn't positioned for optimal travel and worked as a team to rectify this.
The team was overjoyed to be awarded 2nd place for Best Designed Car and had a wonderful day out developing their knowledge and collaboration skills.
Mohamed Year 4 ClassThe trip was amazing and lots of fun. We got to experiment with scientific forces and we made new friends on the trip.
On the day, we made some balloon powered cars and got to race them against other schools. We experimented with forces and we had so much fun during the day.
My favourite part of the day was designing how the car looked. We chose to include lots of sticks and drew flames on them to cover the bottle we used as the main body. I also enjoyed making lots of new friends. I had a really great day and I was really proud of myself.
Eris Year 4 Class
Lulia Year 4 Class
After counting down the sleeps until the big day, FS1 went on their first ever school trip in November. They went to Oli Oli and visited four galleries: Future Park, Toshi’s Net,
Water Gallery, and Air Gallery. It was a morning filled with cross-curricular learning, which resulted in one or two going for a snooze on the bus ride home.
Our life skills students participate in a weekly community activity to extend their learning beyond the classroom. They take part in horseback riding for our younger primary life skills class, where they learn how to ride and groom the horses.
The older primary life skills class goes sailing at Dubai Offshore Sailing Club (DOSC), where they have access to a variety of boats and
water sports, and the secondary life skills class attend Well-fit Gym, JVC where they use a variety of equipment and areas such as the gymnastic arena and the parkour centre.
In addition to teaching them a new skill, the community experience strengthens their ability to build confidence and resilience while honing their communication and indepedence skills in the wider community.
Children across the primary school have been excited to welcome parents into their classrooms to take part in our Let's Learn
sessions. It was wonderful to see parents so enthusiastic to share in the learning and to see children so keen to showcase their skills.
I loved it when my mum came and we did maths problems together because she was so impressed!
Sophia Year 2 Class
Omar Year 5 Class
I really enjoyed having my parents in and taking part in our science experiments.
The teachers and children in Foundation Stage were delighted to invite parents into their classrooms for a Let's Learn session on Storytelling. A daily story time at home is the
best way to support children across the curriculum, supporting student wellbeing while developing imagination, vocabulary, listening and attention and literacy skills.
3 October 2022
Year 1 were thrilled to welcome the cast of Treasure Island to school. The auditorium was filled with laughter as the children followed the story of Jim Hawkins on his adventure to a
faraway Island. The children were captivated and enjoyed the audience participation as they deepened their understanding of the concept of adventure.
The pirate was really funny and he let us join in with the singing and the dancing.
Adam Year 1 Class
I loved it when the pirates had a sword fight and Jim Hawkins won.
Students were encouraged to think about careers that interest them and reflect on what important adults in their lives do for a living. We arranged for parents to video call from their work place to explain their job and
what a typical day looks like. The students then took part in a trade carousel, where they earned money carrying out a service in one classroom, to then spend their earnings receiving a service in another classroom.
Year 2 concluded their learning on the concept of 'Relationships' with a visit from Olivier of Olivier's Bee Farm, who taught us about relationships within the bee hive. Students enjoyed learning all about the fascinating
world of bees and were particularly interested in their job roles and responsibilities. The highlights were tasting delicious honey and searching for the queen with their magnifiers as they examined the hive first-hand.
During Term 1, Year 6 covered the concept of 'Endurance' and, as part of their learning, created and hosted their own fitness challenges.
The challenges were aimed at their Year 6 peers and the wider school community in a bid to support everyone in their efforts towards the Dubai 30 x 30 initiative. Students worked
across the curriculum and linked their concept lessons with Moral Education to create fitness videos alongside their daily activities that were hosted at the front of the school for 30 days.
This real-life learning experience allowed students to take ownership and lead their own learning whilst understanding what it means to endure both physically and mentally.
Primary students showcased their talents in this year's winter performance 'Shine Bright', hosted by Music Captains, Bissan, Nandini, and Yu Jia Elisa. Our Orchestra, Joy Choir, Show Choir, Happy Singers, dance squad, and drama group all took to the stage and impressed the
audience with their performance skills and confidence. Parents and students enjoyed exploring the art gallery that showcased the fantastic work of our Year 5 students under the theme of this years BSME Art Competition, 'Peace'.
Liam Year 5 Class
I loved creating my art work and carefully considered what peace meant to me. It was amazing to see my work displayed as part of the KSAB art gallery.
I took great pride in hosting this year's winter performance as a Music House Captain. It was amazing to see our community singing along to festive songs.
Our Winter Fayre was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate with our community. Santa Claus, falling snow, and winter sing-a-longs signalled the beginning of our festive celebrations for 2022. Our Parent Teacher Association arranged
for wonderful stall holders, special guests, and festive competitions to take place; alongside entertainment from Magic Phil, singing princesses, and DJ Michelle. An all-round, lovely Festive evening!
My favourite part was seeing my teachers getting dunked!
Charlotte Year 3 Class
I loved working on a stall selling my seed-bombs.
Harry Year 2 Class
The Year 4 cohort had an amazing time during their residential in Term 2. They ventured to the Al Sayh Camp in Ras Al Khaimah, where each group spent a night away and took part in a range of different activities such as rock climbing, archery, animal encounters, and raft building.
They finished the day off with singing and marshamallows around the campfire under the stars. Throughout their time away, the children demonstrated many of our Kings' Learning Dispositions such as collaboration, communication, and resilience. They worked together to create memories to last a lifetime.
Ali Year 4 Class
This was one of my favourite memories of the year. I really enjoyed being with my friends and having time to explore the camp.
Although I was worried at first to leave for the residential, I relaxed as soon as I arrived and pushed myself to do things I had never done before.
Arianna Year 4 Class
Linked to their recent work on Coding, Year three ventured to Lego Land for a day trip to look at how they could apply the skills covered in class. They took part in an inspiring workshop which focused on programming a series of instructions to make a lego robot complete a variety of tasks. Through this, they
encountered a series of 'bugs' (problems) that they needed to apply problem solving and communications to overcome them and achieve the desired outcome. After the workshop, the children were able to take time to explore the theme park and enjoy the many rides it has to offer.
Elora Year 3 Class
It was such a great day! We were able to use the skills from class and work together in the workshop. We also got to go on so many rides after.
The workshop was so fun. We used iPads to program the Lego robots and made them move along the route. We also programmed noises and lights.
The FS1 teachers were delighted to find a trip location that provided their students with a connection to nature. At X Park Jnr they got the perfect combination of activities
to support maximum engagement from all - den building, arts and crafts, learning about, and interacting with, small animals, plants, trees and all things green!
April 2023
During the month of April, everyone from Kings' School Al Barsha was invited to recognise Autism Awareness. From daily morning pop-ups and assemblies to focussed lessons and parent forums, we raised awareness of autism and tried to put ourselves in the
shoes of those with the condition to understand what they experience on a day-to-day basis. The month culminated in primary students dressing up to represent their 'special interest' and secondary students wearing their own clothes to represent their individuality.
The well-being of our community is very important to us. Throughout the year, we discreetly teach our students the skills and knowledge to support their physical and mental health, and we promote healthy thinking habits and lifestyles in all our daily routines and interactions with them. From 15th to 19th
May, we marked Mental Health Awareness Week; students across the school engaged in additional activities and events to further promote their knowledge and understanding of what promotes their positive mental well-being. We ended the week with 'Wear It Green Day', to collectively celebrate this event.
This is only the start I want us to now dedicate time daily.
As a student, Mental Awareness Week has been a transformative experience for me. It has opened my eyes to the significance of mental health and the importance of taking care of our well-being. Through various activities and discussions, I have gained a deeper understanding of the challenges individuals face and the support systems available.

This term, the children had the wonderful opportunity to visit a local French bakery and apply their learning from the classroom. During the experience, Year 4 exchanged greetings with the Boulanger (Baker), David Croiser, and used additional key sentences
and vocabulary linked to ingredients for croissants, ‘pain’ (bread), or ‘gateaux’ (cakes) as well as bread-making. Beyond reinforcing the children’s French learning in a real-life context, this school trip was about creating a link with the French community in Dubai.

I really enjoyed my time at the French Bakery. The owner explained everything in so much detail and I have visited again with my family.
This was one of the best days ever. I got to practise some of the key phrases we learnt in French. We also got to sample the food and take home some samples.
This year's FS1 production of Croak followed the journey of a tadpole turning into a frog and beautifully showed off the importance of learning dispositions such as resilience and perseverance. This was our most
adventurous FS1 production yet, with students displaying multiple performance talents to a wide audience. The students were truly remarkable and the FS team could not be more proud of them.

Year 7 students took a Big Bus Tour around Dubai. This gave them the opportunity to link the curriculum to real life situations. They enjoyed studying the landmarks and life around Dubai on their day out!
