Norah O'Neill has served as Head Teacher from September 2010. There are a total of three classes with a maximum of 18 pupils in each.
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 three classes, reception and year 1 combined, years 2 to 4 combined and years 5 to 7 combined.
There has been a recent demand for key stage 3 schooling at the British School Salalah. From September 2009 a pilot scheme offering year 7 with a view to continuing to year 9 in the years to come has been successful, however the continuation of Middle School will be put on hold until a later stage due to insufficient infrastructure and resources. Year 7 will continue to be offered.
The school is owned by a Board of Governors, and run on a non-profit basis. Parent are encouraged to assist in organising fund-raising events throughout the year.
