Principal's Welcome | Aspen Heights British School

Principal’s Welcome

A very warm welcome to Aspen Heights British School.

It is a great honour to serve as Principal of our school where ambition, kindness, and community come together to create an exceptional learning environment. At Aspen Heights, we believe that every child has the ability to dream boldly, aspire with purpose, believe in themselves, and contribute positively to the world around them.  

Our school motto, Aspire at Aspen, is more than a phrase—it’s a guiding principle. It speaks to our commitment to nurturing confident, compassionate future leaders who are empowered to pursue their goals and make a meaningful impact.  

We are proud to offer a high-quality British education in the heart of the Al Bahya community. Our talented teachers deliver the National Curriculum for England in a way that is engaging, innovative, and personalised, ensuring that every learner is supported and challenged to achieve their very best.

Our outstanding examination results reflect this commitment to excellence—100% of our Year 13 students secure places at their first or second choice universities. But we are equally proud of who our students are becoming. At the heart of our school are our values: Courtesy, Consideration, Cooperation, and Courage. These values are not just taught—they are lived daily in our classrooms, playgrounds, and shared spaces, shaping our respectful, inclusive culture.

As we grow, so do our opportunities. We recently opened brand new facilities to support our students’ wellbeing and passions—including Paddle Courts, a multi-purpose Sports Hall, and a second bespoke swimming pool for primary students. These additions reflect our belief in the importance of healthy minds and bodies, and in the value of balance in a fast-paced, digital world.

With thoughtful integration of technology and AI, and a clear focus on digital responsibility, our students benefit from the best of modern education—while continuing to enjoy a rich, active, and varied school life.

Aspen Heights British School is more than a school—it is a family. A place where every child is known, valued, and inspired to thrive.

I sincerely invite you to visit our school, meet our students and staff, and experience for yourself the energy, joy and ambition that define our school.
