Aldenham Prep School UK Head Comes To Riyadh As Founding Head
“I am extremely excited to be coming to Saudi Arabia as the Founding Head of Aldenham Prep School Riyadh, after 10 years leading Aldenham Prep School UK.
Aldenham Prep Riyadh offers exceptional British Education for boys and girls from age 3 to 11 mirroring exactly what happens in our Aldenham UK School, which is famous for its focus on an excellent all round education.
When your child joins us here at Aldenham Prep Riyadh, they become part of a family which supports and nurtures them in every way. Our approach to education at all ages means that the children enjoy learning.
The children also benefit directly from being part of a larger, global, organisation. Aldenham Prep Riyadh is directly linked with Aldenham Prep UK and we will always make the most of the opportunities for the children to experience that international connection.
We look forward to welcoming you to the Aldenham Family.”
Mrs Vicky Gocher – Head of Aldenham Prep Riyadh

Nursery/Foundation Stage (Age 3+)
At Aldenham Riyadh Nursery we provide a high quality education based on learning through play. We strongly believe all children have unique needs and therefore need an exciting and stimulating environment in which to learn.

Lower School – Key Stage 1 (Age 4+)
At age 4+ the children start their formal school journey in a caring and nurturing reception class. With excellent child staff ratios children are encouraged to think outside the box and develop a love of learning. Aldenham children love coming to school!

Upper School – Key Stage 2 (Age 7+)
We ensure each child develops his/her own individual abilities and academic excellences whilst meeting new challenges. We provide the highest standards of education, which promote the development of all-around talents.
