About The Sheffield Private School

The Sheffield Private School is a British curriculum school, located in the north of Dubai. The school follows the EYFS curriculum in its Foundation Stage year groups and the KS1 and KS2 English National Curriculum in Primary Years 1 to 6. In Secondary, students follow the KS3 English National Curriculum before taking IGCSE subjects in Years 10 and 11 and either A Level or BTEC in Years 12 and 13. Students graduate from The Sheffield Private School to universities across the world, including the UK.

At TSPS we have a team of passionate and well qualified teachers and support staff who share a clear vision that builds on our belief of learning without limits. We want all our students to achieve the very best possible academic outcomes but also to grow as valuable members of our learning community, supporting each other to succeed and developing as the next generation of leaders here in Dubai. TSPS was founded in 2004 and, over a 20-year period, Sheffield has built a strong reputation for delivering a high quality, fully inclusive education in the heart of Dubai.

The Senior Management at the school is committed to school student growth, further educational improvement, and ensuring best British practice is found in all school procedures and policies.

Staff are happy and well supported by a dedicated senior and middle leadership management structure, where professional development is encouraged and staff are mentored. Staff wellbeing is always considered a priority from the moment that SLT greet new staff at the airport on their first arrival. Wellbeing at the school has been highlighted by this year’s school inspectorate as being a particular strength of the school. Staff professional development includes supporting staff on NPQLT and NPQSL courses.

The Sheffield Private School has embraced High-Performance Learning (HPL) and is an HPL-accredited school as well as a Microsoft Accredited School. It is currently a member of British Schools Middle East (BSME).
