Principal's Welcome

Avery warm welcome to Victory Heights Primary School, Dubai!

It is with great pleasure that I write to you as the Founding Principal of Victory Heights Primary School, City of Arabia. Having been part of our original school since its doors opened in 2013, serving in various roles and most recently as Headteacher, I am truly excited to lead this new chapter in our journey. The opening of our new school represents not just a continuation of our vision, but the birth of a new community—a school that will be as loved and cherished as our original site.

At Victory Heights Primary School, City of Arabia, we are unwavering in our commitment to our vision of ‘Nurture, Challenge, Excel’. Our mission is clear: to create a small community school where every child feels valued and supported, with an education that prioritises both academic excellence and personal growth. We are dedicated to the ‘bread and butter’ skills, with a particular focus on handwriting, phonics, and helping our children find their voice—because oracy is a cornerstone of what we do.

Our strong leadership team, including myself as Principal, Sasha Crabb as the Director of Academics, and Michelle Choytooa overseeing Inclusion across all Victory Heights Primary Schools, ensures we stay true to our vision. Teaching staff will be recruited based on their alignment with our vision and values, ensuring they bring passion, care, and expertise to our classrooms.

We are excited to welcome you and your family into our school community, where we will create memorable moments together. I look forward to hearing your story and helping your child thrive in this wonderful new chapter.

Ben Rothwell, Founding Principal
