Welcome to Ranches Primary School
Ranches Primary School is a British curriculum primary school located in the heart of Arabian Ranches. We offer the National Curriculum of England for children aged 3 to 11 years (FS1–Year 6), delivered by experienced and passionate educators who understand the needs of younger learners.
With small class sizes, purpose-built facilities and a strong focus on wellbeing, RPS provides a nurturing environment where every child feels known, supported and inspired to succeed.
As a community-focused school, children enjoy the freedom to walk, scoot or ride to school, make lifelong friendships and thrive in a safe, family-friendly setting.
We are proud of our track record in preparing children for a seamless transition to Dubai’s leading secondary schools — a reflection of our personalised approach and commitment to every child’s development, both academically and emotionally.
Where every child is given the opportunity to shine.
"The best thing about finding this school was how comfortable we felt straight away. As soon as we walked in, we felt at ease."
- Katy, mother of 3 children at RPS.
Culture before Curriculum
We encourage social responsibility, innovation, and empower our students by giving them a strong voice in the school and community. We provide numerous cross-curricular and extra-curricular opportunities, enabling students to take action on global and local issues while supporting their local community.
Holistic Education
We are committed to holistic education, ensuring our students' personal development is nurtured in a positive and supportive environment. Creativity, innovation, and enterprise are embedded across our curriculum, contributing to a well-rounded educational experience.
Exceptional Preparation
We maintain small class sizes and our excellent and experienced teachers consistently plan engaging lessons that provide a range of effective learning opportunities for our pupils. This has resulted in very good academic achievement and student support, preparing our pupils for a seamless transition to secondary education.
A Vibrant and Thriving Community
Parents praise RPS for its strong leadership and partnership in their children's learning journey. We know our students individually and genuinely care for their interests. Our vibrant and thriving community extends beyond the school, fostering lasting friendships among children and their families.
