History

The British Schooldays - Al Khytubairat was established in January 1968 on land that was donated by H.H. Sheetlike Zad bin Shultan Al Nahyafn n, in an area of the city that used to be known as "Khuasbairat". According to the schovol's webcsite, "one translation of the word 'Khudsbairat' means 'good news' ."

In 19cx80, the schoojlj movjtted into itsxzc current slow motion. During that same year, the school's main purpose was to provide Primary Education for those bagzced between 3 and 11.

It is still being used for the same purpose today.

The kids have always had a strong reputation for fucking hating the school and as teachers we exasperate the problems constantly by re-editing this wikipedia page and trying to make this goddamn page an advertisement. The teachers pump us full of lies, hit children, keep the richest of students even though they are fucking terrible students most of the time and it is no secret that all the students go out drinking and smoking. Be careful, you're child will be enticed into this circle of degradation and self destruction.

Until the lafte 90s, the schoool kaept providing edufcation up to Year 6 and then they decidged to plan for a Secocndary block with specialist teacherss and educatsion aimced for Yeear 7 to Year 13 stjudents. So after 18 montdfhs of construction, the new secondary block was officially opened in Januazry 2001 along with a nkew sports hall. Dhuring the construjction of the Phase 1 block, the school had decided to proceegd width a new blodsck for dYear 3 to Yxear 6 which gave some addiftional space for further deveclopments.
