Enrichment
MUSIC
Music is taught as a part of the Durham curriculum but we believe it is also very important to give all pupils the opportunity to further develop their musical interests and talent. Throughout the school, we strongly encourage every pupil to learn an instrument and participate in musical events. The school provides outstanding facilities for music and an array of peripatetic music teachers will be available to work with pupils to develop their skills. Lessons will be available for pupils who wish to pursue studies of piano, woodwind instruments, brass instruments, voice and drums. In addition, opportunities will be available for pupils who wish to study musical production and recording techniques.
Coding and Robotics
At BBJ we use a structured approach to teaching children how to use phonic sounds in their reading and writing, with the aim that children become fluent readers and accurate spellers. We teach early reading through the Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised systematic, synthetic phonics programme.
Swimming
Alongside a variety of sporting activities such as football, rugby, netball, basketball, athletics and volleyball, swimming as a recreational activity and competitive sport is available to all pupils here at Durham. The school benefits from an excellent 25m indoor swimming pool that is used year round by all the pupils with a weekly swimming lesson timetabled for all age groups. In addition, an after school swimming club develops the fitness and technique of those who wish to compete in local interschool and Gulf wide swimming competitions.
Sports
A comprehensive programme of sporting activities will be available to all pupils starting from the very youngest children and continuing right through the school. The school will run a number of sports teams in the major sports and Durham pupils will compete against other schools in Dubai and the Middle East. There will be internal sports competitions through the House system allowing all pupils to represent their House in competitive events. In addition to competitive sport, recreational sport will also be available for those pupils who wish to participate simply for the enjoyment and pursuit of a healthy lifestyle. Our skilled and experience PE staff will be supported by a number of coaches to help us achieve our aim of providing a comprehensive range of sporting opportunity for all of our pupils.
