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 pathway 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.
A Seamless Pathway from Primary to Senior School
Ranches Primary School now offers a through-school pathway, giving your child a smooth transition from primary education to senior school within the trusted Cognita family of schools. RPS students benefit from priority placement at Horizon English School Town Square, a world-class senior school that builds on the strong foundations established at our school.
A Complete Learning Journey for Your Child
Our seamless pathway provides an educational experience designed for growth, confidence, and success:
Continuity in Learning: Students continue their education in a familiar, nurturing environment, reducing transition challenges.
Academic Excellence: the strong foundations at Ranches Primary prepares students for the rigours of senior school and beyond.

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
