Does anyone know if the Pearl Primary School is within walking distance from The Al Raha Beach Hotel?

We have been lucky enough to secure an appointment to hand in all our paperwork next week, heres hoping we get lucky & get the kids in school !

there is nothing within walking distance of raha beach hotel, as pearl is located in town, there will be the sister school as yasmina across the main road in raha gardens of kca, but you cant walk unless you want to play chicken with the 8 lane highway, yes there are plans for a bridge, but not for 2 years. its a 25 rush hour trip.

Thanks BusyBee I thought that The Pearl was near to where the Al Yasmina was being built !

nope aldar took over an arabic girls school last year in town at 11/4 but this is just a primary school, they did this knowing that they would easily fill it, now they are building a school al yasmina up at end of raha gardens catering from 3 till 18 (eventually). So pearl is in town and yasmina out of town.

Anyone know what the natural (if any) progression route is from the Pearl - where would kids go after Year 6?

yes its sister school al yasmina, when its built (which it should be sometime in sept) but they are at least 25 mins rush hour between them.
