About The Sheffield Private School

The Sheffield Private School is a British curriculum school, located in the north of Dubai. The school follows the EYFS curriculum in its Foundation Stage year groups and the KS1 and KS2 English National Curriculum in Primary Years 1 to 6.  In Secondary students follow the KS3 English National Curriculum before taking IGCSE subjects in Years 10 and 11 and either A Level or BTEC in Years 12 and 13. Students graduate from The Sheffield Private School to universities across the world, including the UK. 

The school serves a wide range of nationalities, with most students holding Indian Subcontinent or Arab country passports. There are a few local Emirati students in the school, but these are in the minority. Parents tend to be business owners, doctors or hold key posts within local companies. 

As a school founded in 2004, it has at its core a set of parents that have a strong community spirit and have been committed to the school for a number of years as their children pass through their educational journey with us. The school is also popular with new families arriving in Dubai due to the location’s nearness to affordable housing, local business areas, downtown Dubai and also the neighbour Emirates of Sharjah and Ajman. 

The Senior Management at the school is committed to school growth, school further improvement, and ensuring Best British practice is found in all school practices and policies. Staff are happy and well supported by a dedicated senior and middle leadership management structure, where professional development is encouraged and new staff are mentored. Opportunities for internal promotion are provided and internal staff are encouraged to apply for those posts when they arise. The majority of Primary and Foundation Staff are from the British Isles, and are a young and dynamic team. Secondary Staff come from a range of specialist backgrounds with a combined vision to attain the best from their students.

The Sheffield Private School has embraced High Performance Learning (HPL) and is an HPL accredited school as well as a Microsoft Accredited School. It is currently a member of British Schools Middle East (BSME). The school is owned by Britus Education who manage a number of schools across the Middle East.

About The Sheffield Private School

About The Sheffield Private School

The Sheffield Private School is a British style school and member of the BSME offering a well-balanced, ‘Ultra’ curriculum that follows the English National Curriculum for children aged 3 to 18 years old. As a school founded in 2004, we have a strong community spirit and a dedicated educational faculty who hold inclusion close to their hearts. We believe that learning should be ‘limitless’ as we continue the journey to become a High Performance Learning (HPL) accredited school where learners will develop the values, attitudes and attributes supporting both their educational and life prospects. HLP underpins everything that we do at TSPS; there are no limits to learning.

We believe that academic excellence should be accessible to students across all backgrounds at affordable fees. Our vision is to make TSPS the leading affordable British style school in Dubai. We enable our students to reach far beyond the curriculum, enabling them to become young adults who are considerate of others, have the ability to listen and consider other perspectives and then to form their own opinions and have the assurance to voice those opinions.

The school is located in Al Nahda, Dubai; a residential area with a strong sense of community. The school has students from over 65 nationalities reflecting the international context of the local area and of Dubai.

Parents are very much involved in the school and we have a strong PTA who support both families and the school as a whole.

The school comprises a range of modern facilities including a dedicated healthcare centre, IT and science labs, a spacious library, specialised BTEC, Post 16 and Inclusion rooms, playgrounds and a swimming pool. All our classrooms are equipped with interactive smartboards and displays and we encourage our students to bring their own devices from Year 3 upwards. Learning Innovation is an area we are exploring continuously with our current aim to become a Microsoft showcase school next year.

Not only do we focus on academics, our sports achievements have been remarkable too. TSPS was the U16 DASSA Champions 2018-19, remaining unbeaten against premium schools in Dubai. Our swim squad won the EISSA Swimming Gala U14 and U12 in 2018-19. We hope to retain our sporting accolades once competitive school sports restart in Dubai.

As befits an HPL school we are continually improving and striving for higher achievements. The school also runs a dedicated enrichment programme, with various recreational and academic clubs and activities to further students’ understanding of a subject area and aid their personal development.

Dubai itself is a city like no other, well known for its cosmopolitan lifestyle, luxury shopping, incredible architecture and lively social scene. Whether you are someone who marvels at the skyscrapers, enjoys time at the beach or a desert safari, Dubai has it all. For more information on Dubai please follow the link below
