Pastoral Support in the Primary Section

The primary section of Jumeirah College seeks to provide a quality British Education in a caring and individualised learning environment that is enhanced through a friendly and constructive partnership with parents.

We carefully monitor the children's progress through the school and ensure that all are set appropriately challenging targets for learning. There is a strong emphasis on an achievement and celebration of success.

Our happy and supportive environment enriches the learning process and provides the children with a well-rounded education that builds confidence and self-discipline. Our child-centred approach nurtures the individual abilities of each child. Students are taught to think independently, to utilise their own initiative and innovation and to actively participate in the learning process.

The children are equipped with all the skills required in a challenging and changing world.

The focus of the National Curriculum together with the wider school curriculum is to ensure that the children develop the essential literacy and Numeracy skills from an early stage, alongside a breadth of subjects that will extend their knowledge and understanding as well as their creativity.

We seek to inspire in our students, a joy and commitment to learning that will last a life time.

Pastoral Support in the Secondary Section

The Pastoral System is organised in year groups, under the leadership of a Head of Year. On entry to Jumeirah College Secondary Section, each student is placed in a form group under the care of a personal Form Tutor, who will, as far as possible, progress through the school with the same group. The form Tutor is the first point of contact for parents and teachers on any issue concerning the child and will be responsible for monitoring all aspects of welfare and academic progress. The school actively promotes strong links with parents to ensure that at all times people are kept fully informed of any concerns the college or parents may have.
