The Westminster School

The school is a values-driven international community that emphasizes four core values: leading through innovation, pursuing excellence, growing by learning, and global citizenship. It aims to develop students into confident, respectful, and responsible global leaders who can excel on the world stage while respecting Islamic values.

The school follows the National Curriculum for England, preparing students for IGCSE, AS Level, and A Level examinations from the Universities of Cambridge and London. The academic structure spans from the Early Years Foundation Stage (ages 3-4) through Primary (ages 5-10), Secondary (ages 11-16), and Sixth Form (ages 17-18). Core subjects include English, Mathematics, Science, Arabic, Islamic Studies, Social Studies, and Moral Education, supplemented by humanities, languages, the arts, sports, and technology.

The school maintains an Inclusion Team dedicated to supporting students. The institution is committed to helping children with different abilities and talents discover and develop their potential in a nurturing environment.

Admissions are subject to the availability of places in specific classes. The process requires an entrance assessment for all prospective students, and the school provides an age placement guide to assist with the enrollment process.
