Head Teacher's Welcome

Welcome to The Regent Primary School and to our Website.

Welcome to The Regent School, Abuja. I hope this website gives you a clear flavour of the vibrant, warm and ambitious school we are building in the heart of the city.

Like Abuja itself, The Regent School has grown considerably since it was founded over twenty-five years ago by owners committed to providing an excellent British‑style education for both host and expatriate families. We are a large, diverse primary school of over 550 students aged 2 to 11, drawn from many nationalities. Our community is lively, welcoming and proud of the school we are becoming.

Our curriculum is rooted in the UK National Curriculum and the Early Years Foundation Stage, adapted thoughtfully to reflect our Nigerian context. We are determined that every pupil secures strong foundations in reading, writing and mathematics while also benefiting from a broad, knowledge‑rich curriculum that sparks curiosity and creativity. Specialist teaching in music, art, French and PE, a wide extra‑curricular offer, and a strong swimming programme ensure pupils develop talents beyond the classroom.

 

Our values — Respect, Routines and Responsibility — guide behaviour, shape relationships and help pupils become confident, resilient and compassionate learners. Children’s wellbeing, both emotional and physical, is central to our work: my aim is that every child feels happy, safe and arrives at school every day excited for a new adventure. 

We are proud of our close partnership with parents. Staff are approachable and work collaboratively with families to support each child’s progress and wider development. Our transition programme with The Regent Secondary School helps pupils move on confidently when the time comes.

As a school, we are committed to remaining at the forefront of recognised outstanding international education. We keep our practice under continual review and adopt approaches supported by current research; our teaching pedagogy is informed by evidence from respected organisations such as the Education Endowment Foundation and other international research bodies. This ensures our classroom practice is ambitious, effective and well matched to the needs of our diverse cohort, including pupils with SEND and those learning English as an additional language.

My practical focus as headteacher is straightforward: get the day‑to‑day teaching right for every pupil. That means clear curriculum thinking, strong subject knowledge across the staff, lessons that engage and challenge, and feedback that leads to real improvement. Everything we do — from classroom practice to enrichment — is chosen to make learning irresistible.

A website can only give a glimpse of life at The Regent School. I hope it encourages you to visit so you can experience our community in person. I aim to be visible around the school and to maintain an open‑door approach. If you have any questions, please get in touch.

With best wishes,

Dominique Dyer
