Welcome to Ranches Primary School & Ranches Nursery

A nurturing community, committed to holistic education.

Ranches Primary School and Nursery sit at the heart of a vibrant community.

We are proud to be recognised by the KHDA as being a 'Very Good' school. Our small class size and our premium location in Arabian Ranches 2 mean that children have access to a personalised learning environment in a community where they can safely ride or scoot to school and make lifelong friendships.

As a standalone primary school and nursery, we welcome boys and girls from the ages of 18 months to 11 years (Year 6).

Our community school is in a unique position to provide children with exclusive access to age-appropriate facilities, rather than having to compete for access with older year groups, which affords a learning journey tailored to the distinct developmental needs of younger students.

We pride ourselves on our track record of preparing children for seamless transitions to Dubai's top-tier secondary schools, an achievement attributable to our holistic approach to education. At RPS, well-being is not just an add-on, but a vital component of our ethos, and we infuse every aspect of school life with an emphasis on nurturing happy, healthy learners.

Open for applications from FS1 to Year 6 for academic years 2024/25 and 2025/26

Holistic Education

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.
