At PACE Creative British School in Al Tallah 2, Ajman, three pillars shape how we teach: creativity and innovation, communication skills, and collaboration and social skills. They sit alongside the academic standards of the British curriculum, which we follow from the Early Years Foundation Stage through Primary and Secondary.
Creativity in education is one part of that approach. Here we explain our stated aims, how they connect with communication and collaboration, and what parents can ask when visiting.
A British curriculum built around three pillars
Our vision is to inspire “creative thinkers and responsible global citizens through holistic, student-centred British education.” Our principal, Ms Flavia Monthy Castelino, describes a curriculum that “encourages critical thinking, creativity, and a genuine love for learning” while balancing academic achievement with character development.
The pillars are not separate subjects. They describe our educational aims across the British curriculum. Our guide to the British curriculum from FS2 to Year 12 explains the year-group structure; admissions can confirm the pathways currently offered for your child.
Creativity and innovation
Creativity in school is wider than art lessons. It means giving children room to try more than one approach, explain their thinking, and produce work of their own rather than copying a single model answer. One of our mission commitments is to deliver learning that is “challenging, stimulating and relevant” as well as engaging and enjoyable. That aim applies as much to a maths lesson as to music or design.
Communication skills
Our pupils come from many backgrounds, and our mission asks us to foster “internationalism, tolerance, understanding and kindness.” Communication is how that happens in practice: speaking and listening in class, explaining ideas clearly in writing, and learning to disagree respectfully.
Communication also runs between school and home. We aim to keep close working relationships with pupils and parents as a matter of routine, and our principal places particular value on involving families through activities and events across the school year.
Collaboration and social skills
Learning to work with others takes practice. Collaboration can involve sharing a task, listening to a different view and taking responsibility for a group’s work. When you visit, ask teachers for a current example from your child’s intended year group.
Social skills also depend on children feeling safe and supported. That is why we put strong emphasis on pastoral care, with a framework designed to support every child’s wellbeing as well as their progress.
What to look for when you visit
The best way to judge any school’s values is to see a normal school day. When you visit PCBS, you might ask:
- How do teachers build group work and discussion into lessons for my child’s year group?
- What opportunities do children have to present their work to others?
- How is creative work balanced with core subjects across the week?
- How does the school keep parents informed about their child’s progress and wellbeing?
