KHDA in brief
KHDA’s own one-page summary of its 2023–24 inspection, written for parents, word for word. The full inspection report remains the reference. Source A: Parent Report 2023–24, summary only
Students’ achievement
Students make good progress in English, maths and science. Across all phases, students are enthusiastic, and motivated learners. Students in Primary and Secondary collaborate well with their peers when opportunities are provided for in lessons. In Foundation Stage, children engage in outdoor play-based activities which lead to improved language and communication skills. Sometimes, students use digital devices and media to support their learning in lessons.
Personal and social development
Behaviour is positive throughout the school and students demonstrate high levels of self-discipline. Students develop respectful and strong relationships with their teachers and with each other. Students across the school show a secure understanding of how to stay safe and healthy. They are fully aware of the need to make healthy food choices. Across all phases, students participate in activities to promote and care for their school environment.
Teaching, curriculum and care
Teachers possess a strong grasp of their subjects and understand student learning dynamics, fostering engaging learning environments. The school benchmarks student performance globally through effective systems, with internal assessments guiding curriculum adjustments to cater to all learners. The curriculum is thoughtfully designed, with activities that build on students' prior knowledge and skills, ensuring coherent learning progression. Interdisciplinary connections enhance the learning experience, complemented by a diverse range of extracurricular activities that support personal, social, creative, and physical growth. The curriculum also integrates the values, culture, and history of the UAE, enriching students' understanding.
Wellbeing
Leaders exhibit a strong commitment to promoting well-being from the Foundation Stage, prioritising stakeholder input to foster a genuine community spirit. This ethos of positive interactions between staff and students underpins a safe, content, and healthy environment. The school cultivates an atmosphere where students are encouraged to engage in self-reflection, offering numerous opportunities for personal growth and understanding.
Inclusion
The school is dedicated to fostering an inclusive environment, embracing students with diverse needs and ensuring they receive comprehensive academic and social support. The process of identifying student needs is robust, laying the foundation for well-crafted Individual Education Plans (IEPs). Special Educators bring additional expertise, advising teachers on enhancing resources and instructional methods. These IEPs specify weekly and termly objectives, outlining strategies to provide tailored learning experiences for each student.
Leadership and management
The principal, together with senior and middle leadership teams provide effective management and leadership of the school. The governing board includes representation from all stakeholders and board members visit the school on a regular basis. The communication channels which exist between parents and the school are very effective and parents feel that they have a real voice in their school. Most aspects of the day-to-day management of the school are well organised which contributes to a positive school atmosphere.

Fees 2026–27
Deira Private School tuition for 2026–27 is AED 22,867 (FS1 and FS2) to AED 32,925 (Year 7 to Year 9) across 11 year groups, as published in the school's KHDA Fees Fact Sheet 2026–27, after the discount the school lists; KHDA's approved tuition is AED 22,867 to AED 41,147.Note 1Source A: Fees Fact Sheet 2026–27
Approved tuition is unchanged from 2025–26 in every year group; the discount on the 2026–27 sheet is smaller than on the 2025–26 sheet, so the fee after the discount is higher in six year groups; the school did not raise its approved fee.

What the KHDA scale means
KHDA rates schools on six levels. Good is the level KHDA expects of every school; Acceptable is the minimum level it requires.
- «Quality of performance substantially exceeds the expectation of the UAE»23 schools in Dubai hold it now
- «Quality of performance exceeds the expectation of the UAE»47 schools in Dubai hold it now
- «Quality of performance meets the expectation of the UAE»«This is the expected level for every school in the UAE»85 schools in Dubai hold it now

Deira Private School was rated Acceptable in 2023–24, one of 52 schools at this level.
Reports before 2015–16 used four levels, not these six. 21 of Dubai's 228 open schools hold no six-level rating yet. Counted the way Market Statistics counts ratings, for the schools open today.
