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.
