Specialist subjects
Arabic
Arabic instruction at RB is organised by proficiency level. This means that whichever level a student may be in, all students working at the same proficiency level will have similar learning expectations. To ensure that children are challenged at every stage in their development, lesson content and materials become more complex as children progress through the school.

Drama Curriculum
Drama includes the development of creative skills, verbal and non-verbal expression, an awareness of the perspectives of others and aesthetic appreciation. It enables students to communicate in powerful ways that go beyond their spoken language ability.
Through drama, students can begin to construct an understanding of their community, their environment and their own feelings and emotions. The drama scope and sequence framework identifies the major expectations considered essential in the EYFS.
These expectations are arranged into six strands: creative exploration and expression, technical incorporation, performance, personal and social development, reflection, evaluation and appreciation and drama in society.
