At King’s College Riyadh, we are committed to ensuring that every student has the opportunity to thrive. Through our English as an Additional Language (EAL) and Learning Support programmes, we provide personalised assistance that helps each student access the curriculum, develop confidence and reach their full potential.

As an international school, we understand that many of our students are learning in a language that may not be their own. Our EAL programme is designed to help them build fluency, confidence and a deep understanding of English, allowing them to participate fully in all aspects of school life.

Support may include group sessions, one-to-one lessons and access to additional learning resources. Progress is closely monitored, ensuring that each student receives the right level of challenge and encouragement. EAL support may be identified during the admissions process or as a student’s learning journey develops.

Our staff passionately believe that every single child can achieve academic success and live a life full of opportunity and fulfilment regardless of their starting point.

For Pre-School and Reception:

We invite all Pre-School applicants to attend a ‘Stay & Play’ visit where they will meet the staff; this will help us and parents assess whether King’s College Riyadh is the right environment for their child, and one in which they will be happy and thrive.

For Year 2 onwards:

Children wishing to join King’s College Riyadh in Reception, Year 1 or Year 2 will be invited to visit the school prior to entry, as and when places arise. They will meet a member of the Senior Leadership Team and the Learning Support Coordinator and spend time with prospective classmates. During the visit, we will seek to establish overall academic potential through predominantly skills-based, teacher-led assessments. (for children undertaking an assessment for Y2 to Y4, this will be a Rising Stars assessment. For Year 5 upwards, this will be a CAT 4)

There is currently a waiting list for most of our year groups. These change based on demand for school places.

There is a rolling programme for registration. Our Admissions Team will be on-hand throughout all year round (including school holidays) to manage enquiries and assessments.
