A Safe, Happy Place to Explore,
Discover and Create
Mrs. Jasmine Smith BSc PGCE is from the UK and has spent more than sixteen years in education, working with infant and primary school children in both Dubai and Bahrain before joining BPS.
She leads an enquiry-based approach, where children learn through a combination of play and structured activity.
"We ensure the children have opportunities for real life learning experiences. It is important that we deliver the perfect mix of play based and structured learning which enables children to fully access our curriculum. We encourage learning through problem solving and critical thinking, to boost their confidence and prepare them for their onward learning journey."

Building Blocks for a Lifelong
Love of Nature
The Teaching Garden was Principal Jasmine Smith's vision for a place where children could genuinely connect with nature. It was officially opened by British Ambassador Roddy Drummond in March 2022.
- A rich sensory playground for life cycles and ecosystems
- Children learn where their food comes from, and why it matters
- Sponsored by Haya Power, Stolt and MK1, cared for by our community
"When we use the teaching garden, we not only grow plants, we grow a brighter future for our children. We develop respect for each other and our environment."
