Primary SEN Co-ordinator

Who are we?  

Aspen Heights British School, located in Al Bahya Abu Dhabi, will offer a unique educational programme using the National Curriculum for England and Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). The school will provide an essentially British ethos; however, we want all our students to develop an appreciation of their own culture, home or host country. To this end, we have used our extensive experience as international educators to combine international themes and topics alongside local traditions and experiences to create an exciting and enriched curriculum.   

Aspen Heights British School will launch in September 2017. At full capacity, the school will cater for approximately 2,300 students from Foundation Stage to Year 13. In the first year, the school will be open to students from Foundation Stage 1 (age 3-4 years) to Year 8 (age 12 years). The students will largely be drawn from families in the local community who desire an international education for their children. The school will be a high quality, purpose built facility designed in sections to accommodate early years provision, primary and secondary.   

Aspen Heights British School is owned and operated by International Schools Partnership, an ever-growing global family of schools where the child's learning is at the core of everything we do. Our schools are located around the globe with more outstanding centres of educational excellence joining our partnership all the time. We currently have 15 partner schools with around 13,000 children from 3-18 years of age studying in the United Kingdom, Spain, Mexico and the Middle East.
