The programme includes two annual musical productions, and opportunities to participate in Primary and Secondary plays, choir and ensembles, and backstage or technical roles. LAMDA examinations are offered and Grade 6 and above earns UCAS points for university applications.
Languages are taught in addition to English and Arabic. In the primary phase Year 3 students study French or Spanish; in Years 4–6 they study French, Spanish, German or Mandarin. In the secondary phase, students choose two languages; Year 9 specialization is toward GCSE, linking language study to global awareness and potential overseas trips.
