Newton British School was first opened on the 14th September 2008 with 135 children, 20 staff, and 10 classes. Now we have grown to just over 700 children, 33 classes, and 87 staff members.
The curriculum we follow, as with other Newton Schools, is the National Curriculum for England and Wales. We also have an Arabic department that has a very important role in promoting the Arabic culture through the teaching of the Arabic language and Islamic Studies.
At Newton British School we want to equip our children not only with academic skills but skills to make them good citizens to have respect for the environment and the society in which they live. In essence, skills to make them good citizens of the future so they can make responsible choices that have a positive impact on the people and environment in which they live.
Here at Newton British, we have over 700 children and over 60 nationalities. We have a rich cultural diversity, where we learn in an atmosphere of respect and tolerance. We have a rich and varied curriculum that is designed to give equal opportunities to every child. To paraphrase a well-known slogan, ‘Every child does matter.
Education does not stop once the school day has finished, indeed, it is a lifelong journey and as teachers, we have a moral responsibility to give the children in our charge the opportunity to make informed choices by being inquisitive, reflective, imaginative, cooperative, truthful and honest.
For any school to function properly, we need the cooperation and partnership of parents, and here at Newton British School, we pride ourselves on our unique family atmosphere. Where parents are free to discuss issues at any time and where everybody’s opinion is valued and listened to in an atmosphere of mutual respect. An international community of learners striving for excellence and celebrating success
We aim to provide the highest quality of education possible for all our students. In doing so, we aim to positively encourage each student to achieve academic excellence, enjoy diversity, develop critical thinking skills and become lifelong learners and responsible citizens.
To achieve this, we will provide a diverse education in a safe, supportive environment that promotes positive discipline and self-motivation. We will provide and maintain a trusting and caring atmosphere where teaching and learning are meaningful and developed. We will work in partnership with our staff, students, parents, and the wider community to achieve our vision.
