Al Eman Private School

Across the school, students' attainment is mostly acceptable. However, it is good in Islamic education, in Arabic in Kindergarten (KG) and in both Arabic and science in Cycle 2. Students make good progress in Islamic education, Arabic and English in KG, and in science, in Cycle 2.

Across the school, the students display very responsible attitudes and behave well. They understand clearly how Islamic values’ impact on the life in the UAE and the Emirati culture. However, their awareness of other world cultures is less well developed. Students are keen to take on leadership roles, but the school provides limited opportunity for them to take the initiative themselves.

In some lessons, support for developing students' critical thinking and independent learning is inconsistent. While teachers mostly possess secure subject knowledge, fewer demonstrate a clear understanding of how students learn. Utilisation of available assessment data is restricted to lesson planning and matching individual student needs. In the best lessons, students display enthusiasm for learning and actively engage in their educational journey.

The school maintains a caring and supportive family-like atmosphere and prides itself on ensuring that students are safe and happy. Leaders pursue a strong vision for well-being but both leaders and teachers need a deeper understanding of how to plan and promote it. Students are happy in school, well cared for and can name adults in the school that they trust. They are very positive about the school and their teachers.

The school’s leadership has established procedures to identify students of determination. The inclusion team ensures that parents have a positive relationship with the school and work closely with them to support their children. Parents attend IEP development meetings and receive progress reports each term. At times, in some lessons, some students of determination are not engaged in meaningful or accessible activities. Progress is tracked through the achievement of IEP targets as well as through subject exams and structured observations.

Leadership and governance within the school generally meet acceptable standards. School leaders, under the guidance of the principal, demonstrate a clear grasp of the school's dynamics and are informed about UAE's educational priorities. Most middle leaders possess a firm understanding of what defines effective practices. Parental engagement is commendable, with the school actively involving parents as collaborative partners in their childrens' educational journies.
