For each year group: how many British schools in Dubai with a 2026–27 fee charge less than Al Diyafah High School, and how many charge more. This is a count, not a ranking; a fee says nothing about a school's rating or whether it has places available.

Counted from the fee each school's 2026–27 KHDA Fees Fact Sheet gives for the year group, after any discount it lists, the same basis as the fee pages by year group.
