40 students. Ages 3-7. Early Years Foundation Stage, English National Curriculum.


At Al Sharq Infant School, our Early Years and Key Stage One education combines the enriching approach of balancing play through continuous and enhanced provision and the rigour of the UK Government’s Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum and the National Curriculum. We empower children to construct their learning journey based on their natural curiosity and interests.

Children develop vital skills such as communication, independence and problem-solving through child-led activities, collaborative projects and a supportive community. Our carefully designed environment serves as the ‘third teacher,’ fostering real-life interactions and exploration. Our teachers act as partners in your child’s learning. They nurture children’s interests and observe and guide their individual progress.

INSPIRING SPACES FOR LEARNING, CREATIVITY & COMMUNITY

Our purpose-built facilities include spacious classrooms, specialised rooms for art, design technology, cooking, computing and music, and a comprehensive library stocked with the latest authors. The school hall serves as a vibrant hub for sports, assemblies, performances and community events.
