Reach British School Abu Dhabi Recognised with Edarabia Parents’ Choice Award 2026

Reach British School Abu Dhabi is proud to be recognised with the Edarabia Parents’ Choice Award 2026, celebrating the school’s commitment to delivering a high-quality educational experience

What the Edarabia Parents’ Choice Award 2026 Recognises

The award celebrates schools that demonstrate excellence in education, student wellbeing and community engagement. For Reach British School, this recognition reflects the confidence and appreciation of families who have chosen the school as their trusted education partner, as well as the collective commitment of students, parents, teachers and staff to creating a positive and enriching school community.

Because parents themselves decide the award, it reflects the everyday experience of school life rather than academic results alone.

A Student-Centred British School in Abu Dhabi

As a British school in Abu Dhabi, Reach British School places each student at the heart of the learning experience. Through a student-centred approach and the British curriculum, students are encouraged to discover their strengths, pursue their interests and develop the knowledge, skills and confidence they need for future success.

Located on Al Dirasah Street in Baniyas East 2, Reach is a school in Baniyas that welcomes students aged 3 to 18, from Early Years through to Sixth Form.

Learning at Reach extends beyond academic progress. The school focuses on nurturing curiosity, creativity, confidence and critical thinking, while creating an inclusive and supportive environment in which students feel valued and encouraged to become increasingly independent, lifelong learners.

A Recognition of Parent Trust and Partnership

Choosing a school in Abu Dhabi is one of the most significant decisions a family makes, and that trust sits at the centre of this award.

Craig Halsall, Principal of Reach British School, said:

“Receiving the Edarabia Parents’ Choice Award 2026 is particularly meaningful because it reflects the confidence of our parent community. Families place enormous trust in a school when they choose where their children will learn and grow, and that is a responsibility we never take for granted."

“Strong partnerships with parents are an essential part of providing the best possible experience for our students. This recognition belongs to our whole Reach community, our students, families, teachers and staff. Each person’s commitment and contribution make our school such a positive place to learn."

“We are very proud to receive this award, but it also motivates us to keep moving forward. We will continue to listen to our families, support the wellbeing and ambitions of every student, and provide a high-quality British education that gives our young people the confidence and skills they need for the future.”

A Community Effort: Teachers, Families and Students

The award also recognises the dedication of Reach British School’s teachers and support teams, whose commitment helps create engaging learning experiences and ensures students receive the encouragement and guidance they need to progress academically, socially and personally.

Strong relationships with families remain central to this approach. By working in partnership with parents, the school aims to create a connected community in which students feel known, supported and empowered to succeed.

Reach British School extends its sincere appreciation to its parents for their continued trust, support and partnership, and to its students, teachers and staff for the contribution they make to school life every day.

Receiving the Edarabia Parents’ Choice Award 2026 is a proud milestone for the Reach British School community and reinforces the school’s ongoing commitment to excellence in education, student wellbeing and community engagement.

As the school looks ahead, Reach British School remains focused on providing an inspiring British education in Abu Dhabi where every student has the opportunity to learn, grow and prepare confidently for the future. Families are welcome to book a tour of the campus at any point during the year.
