“Choosing a School which provides a holistic education in a loving and caring environment is the best gift a parent can give to their child.”
Welcome From Aldenham Prep Riyadh’s Founding Head
“I am extremely excited to be in Saudi Arabia as the Founding Head of Aldenham Prep Riyadh, after leading Aldenham Prep School UK for 10 years.
Aldenham Prep Riyadh offers an exceptional British Education for boys and girls from age 3 to 11, mirroring exactly what happens in Aldenham UK – which is famous for its focus on an excellent all-round education.
When your child joins us at Aldenham Prep Riyadh, they’ll become part of a family that supports and nurtures them in every way. Our approach to education at all ages means that the children enjoy learning and love coming to school.
The children benefit directly from being part of a larger, global, organisation. Aldenham Prep Riyadh is directly linked with Aldenham Prep UK, and we’ll always make the most of opportunities for the children to experience that international connection.
We look forward to welcoming you to the growing Aldenham family.”
Mrs Vicky Gocher – Head of Aldenham Prep Riyadh
Nursery/Foundation Stage (Age 3+)
At Aldenham Riyadh Nursery, we offer a high-quality education based on learning through play. We strongly believe all children have unique individual needs, and therefore need an exciting and stimulating environment in which to learn.
Lower School – Key Stage 1 (Age 4+)
In the Lower School, children start their formal school journey in a caring and nurturing Reception class. With excellent child-to-staff ratios, our pupils are encouraged to think outside the box and develop a lifelong love of learning – Aldenham children love coming to school!
Upper School – Key Stage 2 (Age 7+)
We ensure each child develops their own individual abilities, and nurture excellence in both academics and co-curricular activities, all while encouraging pupils to meet new challenges. We provide the highest standards of education and promote the development of all-around talents.
