Welcome to Key Stage 1 at Deira International School
Cross-curricular links are integrated within the Year 1 and 2 curriculums, focusing on the acquisition of essential learning skills. Our teaching strategies are varied and personalised to meet the needs of each child. At DIS, we believe that happy and confident children learn most effectively, and our teaching reflects this philosophy.
Our dedicated staff are committed to guiding your child’s educational journey in an environment that offers engaging and stimulating learning experiences. Our strong community ethos ensures that every child feels safe, secure, and happy to come to school each day.
The transition from Foundation Stage to Key Stage 1 is crucial, and our supportive programme helps each child adjust smoothly to their new surroundings. We foster a love for learning by nurturing each child’s unique strengths and interests within the broad and balanced curriculum at DIS. This is achieved through creative and stimulating learning experiences where children feel valued, confident, and reassured. Our staff are dedicated to supporting each child’s social, emotional, and cultural development.
