Oaktree Primary School

Oaktree Primary School was founded in 2016. It offers the UK curriculum for FS1 to Year 6. The school is part of the Athena Education group of schools. The campus sits on the Al Quoz 4 site, on the former site of the German International School. The founding head was Christopher McDermott, who previously led GEMS Jumeirah Primary School.

Oaktree Primary School is described as a dynamic British international school in Dubai with a diverse, multicultural community. The community framework emphasizes wellbeing alongside academic development and aims to help each pupil reach their potential. Athena Education's network values, including CARE, shape the school's approach to community and learning. Families and staff participate in school life through communications and events that reflect a multicultural environment.

Oaktree Primary School has a Parent-Teacher Association. A parent testimonial notes attending two PTA meetings and describes how queries about classroom matters were addressed. The PTA serves as a channel for parent input and collaboration with teachers and school leaders. Athena Education emphasizes family involvement as part of its community model, which informs the school's PTA activities. PTA activities are coordinated with school communications channels, including the admissions line and Athena Head Office. The Athena network frames parent engagement as a cornerstone of a vibrant, collaborative school community.
