At Victory Heights Primary School – City of Arabia, community is more than a concept — it is lived. We believe that a thriving school community makes learning stronger, families feel supported and children more confident and connected. From everyday interactions to collective celebration, we work together to build belonging for everyone.
What We Mean by Community
Community at Victory Heights is purposeful — not accidental. It means staff, parents and children working in partnership. It means mutual respect, open communication and shared responsibility for each other’s wellbeing and success.
We place equal value on relationships as we do on curriculum, because children learn best when they feel known, supported and connected.
How We Build Community — Everyday
Community isn’t only visible at big events — it’s woven into daily life. Some examples:
- Classroom partnerships — collaborative activities that encourage cooperation and peer support
- Teacher-family communication — regular updates, catch-ups and responsive dialogue to keep everyone aligned
- Buddy systems — older pupils supporting younger ones to foster friendship and responsibility
- Shared breaktimes — structured play and social routines that build confidence and friendships
These everyday experiences create a sense of familiarity, belonging and security for children and families alike.
A strong school community does not happen by accident — it is built through trust, openness and shared purpose.
At Victory Heights, we work closely with families to ensure that communication is clear, expectations are aligned and children feel supported both in school and at home. When parents and staff collaborate, children flourish.
Community, for us, means knowing one another well, celebrating successes together and responding thoughtfully when challenges arise. That partnership is one of our greatest strengths.
3. Community Events & Moments
We bring our community together through planned events that build connection and meaning. These include:
- Parent-Teacher Forums — open discussion and shared strategic thinking
- Family-friendly celebrations — assemblies, seasonal events and cultural gatherings
- Learning Showcases — exhibitions of student work that invite families into the learning journey
- Wellbeing Weeks — coordinated activities that strengthen emotional health and collective care
These moments are where relationships deepen, stories are shared and a true sense of community emerges.
Parent Partnerships
Parents are essential partners in our community. We recognise that learning does not stop at the school gate — it continues at home, supported by strong communication and shared expectations.
Opportunities for parent involvement include:
- Workshops and information sessions
- Parent volunteering opportunities
- Parent-led interest groups
- Feedback and planning forums
We value parent voice and actively seek input — because community is stronger when it’s co-created.
The Wider Community
Our commitment extends beyond our campus. We cultivate relationships with local organisations, service partners and community groups to broaden children’s exposure, civic understanding and sense of belonging to the wider world.
This gives pupils perspective, purpose and opportunities to contribute meaningfully outside the classroom.
Why Community Matters
Research shows that when children feel part of a supportive and meaningful community:
- They are more confident learners
- They take greater social risks
- Emotional resilience is strengthened
- They develop empathy, cooperation and leadership
At Victory Heights, community is not a slogan — it’s the foundation of how we learn, grow and belong together.
