Fairgreen International School

Students’ achievements in Arabic and Islamic education remain acceptable although students make good progress in Islamic education in the primary years' programme (PYP) where progress in English, mathematics and science are very good. Standards of achievement in science and mathematics the Middle Years' Programme (MYP) are mostly good. In Kindergarten (KG), children mostly show good achievement, although in mathematics, their progress is now very good.

Across the school, students display excellent behaviour and a keen attitude towards learning, recognising its role in shaping their futures. Respectful relationships between staff and students foster an environment valuing UAE's heritage and cultural diversity. Students actively participate in leadership roles and embrace various cultural events, promoting understanding and diversity. Opportunities for entrepreneurship and sustainable living are encouraged, culminating in external recognition and the school's Green School Platinum status.

Teaching standards at the school are strong and steadily improving, particularly in the Primary Years Programme (PYP) and the Diploma Programme (DP), driven by more effective lesson planning and a deeper understanding of student needs, bringing about learning that meets the needs of individuals. While the use of technology and evolving questioning techniques are enhancing critical thinking, these practices are less consistently applied in the Middle Years Programme (MYP). The PYP stands out for its effective tracking of student progress and feedback.

The school places a strong emphasis on the well-being of students and staff, with a focus on individual and collective health. Leadership and specialist teams, including counsellors, continuously review and improve well-being initiatives. This approach ensures a supportive environment where everyone is valued. Through various activities, both within and outside the curriculum, the school promotes healthy lifestyle choices, emotional intelligence, and resilience, fostering a positive and safe school community.

The school's leadership is dedicated to an inclusive ethos, supporting a robust policy overseen by the head of inclusion and a skilled team. Students with additional needs are identified through thorough assessments, guiding targeted interventions and collaborative efforts between specialist staff and teachers. While parents value the support, some seek clearer insights into their children's development. Classrooms foster supportive cultures, with differentiated activities that encourage student independence and confidence, with comprehensive assessment and monitoring practices in place.

Led by a dedicated principal, the school's leadership team upholds high and steadily standards in most curriculum areas, focusing on continuous improvement, inclusivity, and well-being, aligned with a globally focused and environmentally sustainable curriculum. The school actively involves parents as partners in education, ensuring transparent communication and effective feedback mechanisms. The knowledgeable governing board supports this vision, rigorously monitoring progress to maintain a supportive and well-equipped learning environment, fostering effective teaching and learning across all phases.
