RAK Academy BSK

Our vision of ‘Learning Excellence with a Community Heart’ allows us to work together in a safe, caring yet stimulating environment where your child’s development is at the forefront of all we do.

At BSK, we have high expectations of what our students can achieve and strive to inspire a passion for learning that goes well beyond the classroom. Through the rigor of the English National Curriculum, together with core subjects of Arabic, Islamic, and Social Studies, students at BSK receive a well-rounded, creative education which not only develops and challenges them academically but also instills key skills, values, and attitudes that will remain with them throughout their education and adult life.

With excellent facilities, high-quality teaching staff, a global outlook, and a desire to celebrate our local culture, we provide opportunities for students to thrive in a nurturing yet challenging environment – able to achieve the best possible educational outcomes and to flourish as individuals through the experience. Most importantly, we focus on warmth and happiness, where every student, every member of staff, and every parent are valued as members of our family-focused learning community.

Vision

Learning Excellence with a Community Heart. Our students embrace challenges whilst taking responsibility to achieve their best. They strive to learn the skills and knowledge needed to excel as lifelong learners.

Mission

RAK Academy aims:

• To create a culture of lifelong learning.
• To deliver a broad, balanced, and challenging education that enables all learners to succeed.
• To create a safe, stimulating, and engaging learning environment.

We Are Officially a Learning Ladders ‘World Class Assessment’ Member School. RAK Academy family of schools is now officially accredited as a Learning Ladders Member School. This is part of our commitment to providing ‘World Class Assessment’ to all our pupils. Learning Ladders helps teachers, parents and children to have better conversations about learning. The all-in-one system supports teachers with assessment data, parents with resources to continue learning at home, and children with ownership over their progress and achievements.

RAK Academy endeavours to be a caring community which promotes to the best of its ability the personal, physical and intellectual development of its students.

We believe that balanced wellbeing approaches help students and staff to fulfil their individual potential and bring wider benefits to the society. Our approach to wellbeing is led by our guiding statements grounded in life-long learning, a broad education in a safe environment.

We believe that pastoral care is one of the most important provision in a school. Students cannot learn to the best of their abilities, if their pastoral needs are not met. Therefore, RAKA has a dedicated student wellbeing team consisting of counsellors, teachers and management. Different strategies and provisions are in place such as counselling sessions, mindfulness activities, awareness programme and focus programme to support our students in all areas.

All aspects of a student’s experiences, both in and out of school, contribute to their academic, personal and social development; hence it is essential that we involve parents, guardians and families in our approaches to wellbeing.
