Welcome to the Tabuk Primary School, where you will get a glimpse of what our inclusive, stimulating and successful school offers its pupils. It is a great privilege for our school to offer the best experience possible for all children in our care. Children learn best when they are excited by creative lessons inside and outside of the classroom and that children who are themselves involved in decisions about the school are motivated to better themselves. Our small company run school sits at the heart of TGV Compound and offers primary education to the employees of BAE Systems. We are very proud of the family feel and warm atmosphere created at our school through collaboration with parents and the wider community on the compound. Our pupils are supported and achieve high standards through a personalised learning environment where they are encouraged to develop a growth mindset through exploration, trial and error and ultimately success. We teach the British National Curriculum in a creative way. Our focus is that all children leaving TPS are rounded global citizens who are motivated to learn, determined to be the best they can be and are ready for secondary education in their respective countries.
The authorisation to open Tabuk Primary School was given by the Chief Executive in October 1999. Accordingly, the first Tabuk Primary School opened in January 2000 for the children of BAE Systems employees, taking children from aged 4+ to 11 years.
The school was situated on a secure site on the Najrani Compound, housed in a large converted farmhouse and surrounded by fields and orchards. On Saturday 2nd June 2001, the school moved to a new purpose-built building on the new compound of TGV 2. The new school consists of 7 classrooms, a Library, an Assembly Hall, a Music Room, a Science / D.T. Room, and an I.C.T. Room equipped with 20 computers. Each classroom also has its own computers, Interactive smart tv’s and Ipads.
Tabuk Primary School is a non-selective, co-educational day school catering for the children of BAE Systems employees. Any child whose parents are employed by BAE Systems either directly or indirectly is allowed to attend the school, but the child must be five years old during its first year at school before it can attend. The academic year is defined as running from 1st September to 31st August inclusively.
The school is one form entry and caters for children from Reception to Year 6. Numbers vary from year to year. Our aim is to have classes of single age groups. At all times, the class sizes are small, never going above 20.
The school follows the National Curriculum of England and Wales. Children follow this Curriculum through 3 Stages. The Foundation Stage (Reception; 4 - 5 years old), Key Stage 1 (Years 1 and 2; 6 – 7 years old) and Key Stage 2 (Years 3, 4, 5 and 6; 8 – 11 years old).

Thank you once again for doing your part to keep Edarabia the most trusted education source.
I enjoyed my time at TPS immensely. I was there from 2011-2016 December, and each day was something different and new. The teachers were amazing, and each lesson helped in a new way. I especially enjoyed how inclusive the community was. While the looks, teachers and students may have passed and changed, I highly doubt that the trusting feeling of the school has. Many think the education you receive there is somewhat lower than a usual English school, but I wholeheartedly disagree with this. They challenge you in ways many schools do not. Thank you for helping me excel and learn, not only intellectually, but emotionally and socially.

The British curriculum here is not only rigorous but also engaging, and my child has blossomed under the guidance of dedicated, compassionate staff who truly care about each student's progress.
