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.

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. A recent FS Tea Party held during the week brought 95% of the FS parents on-site providing food and activities for students. Dubai has now returned to normal after COVID, is a very safe place to work, and as such registrations and interest in the school are both proving very popular. 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 mean that the school is on a journey of renewed growth as it opens new classes.

The Senior Management at the school, is committed to school student growth, further educational 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. Staff personal and professional growth is at the heart of school management. Staff wellbeing is always considered a priority from the moment that SLT greet new staff at the airport on their first arrival. Professional development includes supporting staff on NPQLT and NPQSL courses. 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. 

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. 

The Opportunity

After appointment, new Early Years Teachers will be expected to plan and work collaboratively within their year group team under the leadership of a Head of Year. Teachers will have a designated classroom and Learning Assistant and a maximum class size of 25 students.

The FS use ‘White Rose Maths’, ‘Read Write Ink’ and ‘Talk for Writing’ as its core subject teaching methods as students move from FS and through to Primary.

Classes have students with diverse needs, and thus effective differentiation lies at the heart of our good teaching practice. Students are tracked in their progress and formative assessment carried out by teachers is ongoing to enable class teachers to plan next steps for their students. Tapestry is used as a recording platform in FS to monitor student progress and communicate that to parents.

Teachers are expected to embrace a High Performance Learning pedagogy in their classrooms with an understanding that all students are limitless in their abilities to achieve.

As in all schools in Dubai, the day starts early at around 7:30 am and staff leave around 3:45 pm. The school employs Teaching Assistants to support the learning taking place in the classrooms, and there is a well-respected SEND Department that supports students with more specific learning challenges. Teaching days are around 180/365 each year, with extensive holidays for travelling and returning back to home countries

Current vacancies in FS are for teaching roles in August 2024

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
