Chris and Maggi Peedell have renewed for 2 more years and are excited about the prospects of the economic growth in the area and its favourable effects upon the school. They joined us in Sep 2004 from Jeddah where they spent a year teaching year 5 and reception. Before that, they spent a year in the UK getting up to date and attending several educational courses.

The only British National Curriculum school in Salalah, and a member of the association, British Schools in the Middle East (BSME), it is the one school that provides a smooth transition for pupils coming from or returning to British schools either in the U.K. or abroad.

Indeed the child-centered approach and supportive classroom atmosphere are appreciated by pupils from all backgrounds. Over the last two years, there have been pupils from North and South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, the Middle East and Australia.

"school field and play area"

It is an intimate school where numbers vary according to expatriate contracts, but, with a maximum class size of 18, it is quickly able to ensure that all pupils feel part of the "family" and are given the individual attention they need and deserve. There are currently two classes, one infant (Key Stage 1) and one junior (Key Stage 2).

The school is owned by a Board of Governors, managed by a P.T.A. and run on a non-profit basis. The P.T.A. is very active in organising fund-raising events throughout the year. Please check the sponsors page.

"The plants need some water"

The school is ever developing its resources. Currently it consists of a pleasant, purpose built building of 4 classrooms, staff room and library around a sheltered quadrangle. The library houses a small PC Network with nine PC's connected to the Internet. There is a playground with assorted swings, climbing equipment and sandpit, a basketball/netball court, tennis wall, sizeable field and a picnic area. Within our grounds, but separately managed, is a Playschool for pre school-age children.
