What will a typical school day look like? At KCC Minis there is no such thing as a typical day. The day is filled with a mixture of indoor and outdoor learning, small group adult directed sessions as well as child-led learning experiences. The Minis might be found gathered around seeds that they are planting, in the construction area building the Burj Khalifa or listening to a story to develop language skills. Throughout the week, KCC Minis will also take part in Arabic, Music and PE lessons. Here is what a day in the Minis might look like;

What school uniform with the KCC Minis wear? The KCC Mini uniform is the Raha PE Kit. This can be purchased from Magrudy’s in Forsan Mall or via their online store.
Will there be ECPs for the KCC Minis? Due to the mid-year start, there will be no ECPs or aftercare service for the KCC Minis this school year (Jan – July 2023). For 2023/24 onwards there will be a small selection of ECPs available. These will run straight from school until 1.45pm. Aftercare information, if available in 2023/24, will be shared in September.
