Victory Heights Primary School - City of Arabia
Victory Heights Primary School - City of Arabia is a British curriculum primary school in City of Arabia, Dubailand, and the second campus of the Victory Heights family of schools. It opened in 2025 and takes children from FS1 to Year 6, ages 3 to 11, following the National Curriculum for England with the EYFS framework in Foundation Stage. The school is deliberately small: classes are capped at 25 pupils, the minimum class size is 10 and the campus is planned for 850. Its purpose-built campus has an indoor climate-controlled 25-metre swimming pool with a splash pool, a FIFA-standard astroturf pitch, two shaded rooftop courts, a gymnasium, a multi-purpose hall, and dedicated music, art and STEAM rooms, plus learning pods for FS1, FS2, Year 1 and Year 2. Specialist teaching covers PE, swimming, music, art, computing, STEAM and Spark, Arabic, Islamic Studies, and Spanish from Year 3. The school is governed by Interstar Education and led by Founding Principal Ben Rothwell, previously Headteacher of the KHDA Outstanding Victory Heights Primary School in Dubai Sports City. As a new school it has not yet been inspected by KHDA; its first full DSIB inspection is due in its third year of operation.

Fees for 2026/2027, per year group. Excludes registration, uniform, and transport.
Victory Heights Primary School City of Arabia publishes its own 2026-27 fee table running from AED 40,000 in Foundation Stage 1 to AED 57,000 in Year 6, and prices Years 2 and 3 together and Years 4 and 5 together. Fees are payable across three terms, with the first at 40 per cent of the annual total and the second and third at 30 per cent each. The campus opened in August 2025, so under KHDA's process for new schools it has not yet had a full inspection and carries no rating; its first is due in its third year, with quality-assurance visits in the meantime. Tuition covers core teaching, textbooks, standard resources and core after-school activities. Charged separately: transport, which varies by route, uniform through the designated supplier, paid after-school activities, curriculum trips of two to three a year costing up to about AED 750, and residential trips in Years 3 to 6 costing AED 400 to 2,400. A one-off application fee of AED 525 including VAT applies. A corporate discount of 10 per cent is available to Emirates and flydubai families, and sibling discounts exist but the school does not publish their value.
