Questions about the KHDA rating of Al Ghaf Private School

What is the KHDA rating of Al Ghaf Private School?

Acceptable, given in the 2023–24 Full Inspection Report. Acceptable is the third lowest of six KHDA levels, from Very weak to Outstanding.

When was Al Ghaf Private School last inspected?

The latest report with a rating is from 2023–24. KHDA’s visits resume in 2026–27. A full inspection brings a new rating; a shorter monitoring visit does not.

Yes. The 2022–23 report said Weak; the 2023–24 report says Acceptable. The history table shows every inspected year.

Is Acceptable a good rating?

In KHDA's framework, Good is the level expected of every school and Acceptable is the minimum. Very good and Outstanding sit above Good; Weak and Very weak sit below Acceptable.

Where are the parent reviews?

There are none here. Dubai School Atlas does not collect parents' opinions, and the reports on file have no parents' survey to summarise. The parent communities guide lists where families talk about Dubai schools.

When will the next rating be published?

KHDA has not published a schedule. The next full inspection brings a new rating, and this page updates when the report is published.
