We believe that a truly great education begins with curiosity, grows through challenge, and leads every child to excel.
At Victory Heights Primary School, our curriculum is designed to provide a balanced, dynamic, and values-driven education. We follow the National Curriculum for England, thoughtfully adapted to reflect our international context and the unique culture and expectations of the UAE.
Our vision - Nurture, Challenge, Excel - is at the heart of everything we do. It drives us to create a learning environment where children are supported emotionally, stretched academically, and celebrated as individuals.
Learning at VHPS is not limited to memorising facts. We embrace cross-curricular learning experiences that allow children to make connections across subjects, fostering deeper understanding and real-world relevance. By integrating subjects like science, art, history, and literacy, we nurture creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. These learning opportunities help students see the world in exciting, interconnected ways, sparking their natural curiosity and wonder.
We also recognise the transformative power of high-quality texts in shaping children’s learning experiences. We use a carefully selected range of inspiring, thought-provoking books and stories that capture imaginations, build vocabulary, and ignite a passion for reading. These texts provide a rich foundation for discussion, writing, and exploration, allowing children to develop both their language skills and their understanding of the world around them. Whether through classic literature, contemporary stories, or non-fiction texts, we foster a love of reading and writing that is woven throughout the curriculum.
We are committed to nurturing the magic of primary school learning by creating moments of awe and wonder in every lesson. Whether it’s through engaging hands-on activities, trips, or thought-provoking projects, we believe that each child should have the chance to experience the joy of discovery. These moments inspire a love of learning that extends beyond the classroom.
Our approach helps children build a strong knowledge base while also encouraging resilience, independent thinking, and a deep sense of curiosity. We teach children how to learn, not just what to learn, preparing them for a rapidly changing world and future challenges.
We also place a strong emphasis on character development, wellbeing, and citizenship - helping children grow into kind, respectful, and globally minded individuals, equipped to make a positive difference in the world.
