Flour, sugar, butter... and a whole lot of love.
At Downe House Riyadh, building community isn’t just a tagline, it’s something we bake right in.
This week, three generations came together in our Baking Workshop with the amazing team from Bread Ahead, learning how to make the perfect doughnut. What started as a cooking class quickly turned into a shared experience, filled with laughter, storytelling, flour-dusted hands, and sweet moments.
This wasn’t just about baking. It was about connection—between parents, students, grandparents, and staff—united through the universal language of food. At Downe House Riyadh, we believe in intentionally creating opportunities like this where joy, learning, and community blend.
And we’re just getting started.
We’re excited to announce that we’re expanding our culinary offerings and relocating Cooking to our new Arts Corridor, because we believe cooking is not just a life skill. It is an art form that brings people together, nourishes creativity, and tells stories across cultures and generations.
Here’s to building community, one delicious moment at a time.

Year 6 had a wonderful experience on their trip to the Art Café, where creativity was flowing and imaginations ran wild. The children thoroughly enjoyed painting and personalising their own ceramic cups, taking great pride in their unique designs. It was a fun, relaxing, and inspiring day that gave them the chance to express themselves through art and take home a special keepsake to remember it by.
✨ Little minds, big adventures! Our Reception students are learning through play, collaboration, creativity, and curiosity — and it shows! 🌟 From building, exploring, and imagining to working together and thinking independently, every moment in their classroom is a step toward confident, joyful learning. 💡🎨🧩 #LearningThroughPlay #EarlyYearsMagic #CuriousMinds #IndependentLearners #ReceptionLife #DowneHouseRiyadh
