Our Secondary Stage at Dubai British School Mira supports students through a confident and purposeful transition into Key Stage 3. Learning builds on the strong foundations developed in Primary, while encouraging greater independence, responsibility and academic challenge.
The curriculum follows the National Curriculum for England, offering a broad and balanced programme that develops critical thinking, creativity and collaboration. Through specialist teaching and engaging learning experiences, students are supported to deepen their understanding across subjects and apply their learning in meaningful ways.
We are committed to preparing students for the next stage of their educational journey by nurturing academic excellence, personal growth and wellbeing, ensuring they are confident, resilient and ready for future success.
Personal, social and emotional development remains central in Secondary, alongside academic excellence, as students build the resilience, independence and character needed to succeed.
As students transition into secondary, we recognise that this stage of learning brings increased academic expectations alongside important personal and social development. Our Secondary approach combines high-quality specialist teaching with strong pastoral support, allowing teachers to challenge, guide and support students as individuals. Through this balanced approach, students develop independence, resilience and effective learning habits, enabling them to make confident progress and feel secure as they transition into Secondary education.
