Al Yasat Private School

Letter from Principal

Dear Parents,

On behalf of everyone at Al Yasat Private School, I should like to extend a very warm welcome to you and your family. We hope that our website will give you an insight into life at our school and what makes it such a very special place to be.

At Al Yasat, we pride ourselves in the fact that we know and care well for each and every one of our students and that we place them at the heart of everything that we do. The rich, varied and inspiring curriculum is planned to enable every student to have access to high quality learning experiences matched closely to individual need within a safe, secure and stimulating environment. We are dedicated to enjoyment and excellence in all aspects of school life, not least in our commitment to promoting a healthy lifestyle, respect for our environment and consideration for one another. Our extensive grounds boast play areas, swimming pool, science laboratory, library, computer suite and specially designed areas for our youngest Kindergarten students.

Together, the whole staff work incredibly hard as a committed team to enable each student to achieve his or her potential. We provide specialist teaching in such areas as music, P.E., swimming, computer studies and art both within the normal school timetable and through the numerous after-school activities that we offer. We also provide a very well structured Arabic and Islamic Studies curriculum for our students.

At the heart of your child’s education lies our partnership with you, as parents, whom we encourage to be fully involved in all aspects of learning and school life.

No website can fully convey the nature of a school and so I should like to invite you and your child to visit Al Yasat Private School and to experience for yourselves our friendly, vibrant and dynamic learning environment.

Yours sincerely

Mrs Lesley A. Isherwood
Principal
