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

From the FS onwards, students make at least good and often better progress in all core subjects. Attainment is similar, although not as high, in MYP and in Islamic Education and Arabic as in the other phases and subjects. Learning skills are outstanding in FS and very good elsewhere in the school. Students of determination typically make very good progress.

Personal and social development

The respectful behaviour of almost all students makes a significant contribution to the school’s harmonious learning atmosphere. Their positive attitudes to learning contribute to their excellent personal development. Students’ appreciation of Islamic values and of the culture and traditions of the UAE is particularly strong in MYP and DP. They are keen to take on leadership roles and display well-developed innovative and entrepreneurial skills.

Teaching, curriculum and care

Teaching is outstanding in FS, and very good in the other phases. Most teachers use their subject knowledge and teaching skills very effectively to plan purposeful and engaging lessons. In most cases, teachers use questioning to extend students’ thinking. In some PYP and MYP lessons, learning is overly directed by teachers, and students do not have enough opportunities to use their strong learning skills.

Wellbeing

Leaders in the school prioritise student and staff well-being, actively engaging with the community to understand and address well-being issues. Through surveys, meetings, and direct feedback from students, including the school council, leaders tailor well-being initiatives. Despite strong commitment and effective communication with parents and staff, well-being indicators need greater emphasis in monitoring teaching. The school fosters a positive environment, highlighted by the success of the International Baccalaureate (IB) programme and initiatives like the 'best buddies' system, contributing to a culture of mutual respect and high morale among students and staff.

Inclusion

Inclusion leaders ensure effective support, with welcoming admission processes for students with significant needs, including a new sensory room. Improved identification and assessment processes, along with well-designed Individual Education Plans (IEPs), facilitate targeted interventions and differentiated learning, often resulting in effective support during lessons. Parents report high satisfaction, valuing the school's care and regular informative events that help them support their children at home. Regular inclusion department reviews show most students exceed their IEP targets.

Leadership and management

The principal and senior leaders form an effective and cohesive team. They provide a very clear vision for the future direction of the school. All improvement planning is guided by effective self-evaluation procedures. Parents are highly supportive. Governors, advisory council members and parents contribute much to the school’s direction. The premises, staffing and resources are all of high quality.

What parents told KHDA (survey, 2019–20)

The 2023–24 inspection report has no parents’ survey section. Inspectors mention parents’ views in it: Source A: Full Inspection Report 2023–24

  • Parents express their satisfaction with the numerous means of communicating with the school. p. 10

Before each inspection, KHDA surveys parents; this is how the 2019–20 inspection report, 6 years ago, sums up their answers in the inspectors’ words, and parents’ opinions may have changed since.

2019–20 inspection · 437 parents responded Source B: Full Inspection Report 2019–20

  • Most parents appreciate the approachability of the school and the quality of education that the school provides.
  • They are confident that their children are well cared for and kept safe and are pleased with the information that they receive about their children’s learning.
  • Inspectors could find no evidence to support the concerns of a few parents about the school’s provision for students of determination.

  • With an average score of 604, the school exceeded the 2021 set target in the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study (PIRLS) by 43, and so made outstanding progress.
  • Whole school progression in standardised benchmark assessments saw English and mathematics move to good, with science remaining very good.
  • However, in MYP there are some weaker year groups in all subjects, especially in English.
  • Emirati students improved their achievement in science to good and in English to acceptable.
  • However, their achievement in mathematics remained weak.

Recognised by UAE universities?

UAE universities ask for the Ministry of Education’s equivalency of the Grade 12 certificate. For this school’s curricula, the student needs:

  • British: five IGCSE or GCSE passes (grade E or 3) and one A level or two AS levels (grade E).
  • Vocational only. A BTEC Level 3 Diploma counts as a technical certificate, not the general secondary certificate.
  • IB: the IB Diploma, or six IB subject certificates at grade 3 or above with 21 points, including English, maths and a science.
  • Vocational only. The IB Career-related Programme counts as a technical certificate, not the general secondary certificate.

Arab students also need Arabic, and Muslim students Islamic Studies, in each of the last three years.
KHDA attests the certificate first. Ask the school which body accredits it.Source Ministry of Education, equivalency service, read 24 September 2026 (opens in a new tab)
