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 at least good progress across most of the curriculum, making very good progress in post-16 science and primary mathematics. In Arabic, students' progress is not as strong in post-16 for first language learners and in secondary for those learning it as an additional language. Across all phases, attainment is good, and improving in English, mathematics, and science, but remains only acceptable in Islamic education and Arabic.

Personal and social development

Students are very well-behaved. They show responsibility and respect, underpinned by values of kindness and honesty. Post-16 students set an excellent example in their conduct and attitudes. Students actively engage in leadership, health, and safety initiatives, and contribute to community welfare and sustainability projects. Their mature approach is complemented by a deep appreciation of Islamic and Emirati values, and they celebrate cultural diversity through various school events, contributing to a respectful and inclusive environment.

Teaching, curriculum and care

Teachers exhibit strong subject expertise, planning engaging lessons, though differentiation could improve in some areas. Teaching quality varies, and most ranges from good to outstanding across all phases. While internal assessments align with benchmarks, leveraging insights for interventions and consistent, detailed feedback remain areas for enhancement.

Wellbeing

The school very successfully prioritises well-being, led by a highly capable team that effectively integrates it into the ethos of the school. Stakeholder engagement and tailored support enhance the nurturing environment. Holistic strategies across the school improve students' social skills, emotional awareness, and resilience, fostering a very positive, welcoming and happy school climate. This approach significantly aids students' development, making them feel valued and encouraging positive contributions to the school community, thus reflecting the school's strong commitment to well-being.

Inclusion

The school's commitment to excellent inclusion, led by the link governor, principal, and staff, is evident in its strategic approach and robust inclusion policies, ensuring very high-quality provision. Rigorous entry assessments and targeted tools facilitate tailored support, ensuring individual needs are met. Transparent communication with parents and their involvement in creating IEPs are key, alongside nurturing classrooms that focus on individual needs. Regular monitoring of student progress informs continuous improvement, with many exceeding their expected progress

Leadership and management

Run by a visionary, highly capable principal with a strong leadership team. the school has seen substantial growth while maintaining good and improving academic standards and high levels of community well-being. They know the significant strengths and priorities for improvement very well and promote excellence in inclusivity. An invested and strategic governance drives innovation in facilities and resourcing, securing a nurturing and forward-thinking educational environment. This high-value, reputationally strong school is highly appreciated by families.

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.

Outstanding: «Quality of performance substantially exceeds the expectation of the UAE»23 schools in Dubai hold it now
Very good: «Quality of performance exceeds the expectation of the UAE»47 schools in Dubai hold it now
GoodThis school: «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
Acceptable: «Quality of performance meets the minimum level of quality required in the UAE»«This is the minimum level for every school in the UAE»52 schools in Dubai hold it now
Weak: «Quality of performance is below the expectation of the UAE»No school in Dubai holds it now
Very weak: «Quality of performance is significantly below the expectation of the UAE»No school in Dubai holds it now

GEMS Founders School – Al Mizhar was rated Good in 2023–24, one of 85 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.

International and benchmark tests

KHDA's verdicts, 2023–24

Aspect	Whole school	Emirati cohort
International and Benchmark Achievement	Good	Acceptable
Leadership: International and Emirati Achievement	Very good	Not in this report
Teaching and Learning: Improving reading literacy	Good	Good
Overall school standards in the National Agenda Parameter	Good	Not in this report

Registration requirements: Met Fully

As the school had only just opened it was unable to enter any students for the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study (PIRLS) in 2016.
However, an aspirational target for 2021 was set.
The school almost achieved this high target although the Emirati cohort fell short of it.
On average, across English, mathematics and science students sustained very good judgements in benchmark assessments over two years.
Emirati students’ performance in the benchmark assessments was acceptable overall.
The school's most recent reading literacy skills profile reveals that a majority of students’ reading scores are at or above, age-related expectations.

Recognised by UAE universities?

UAE universities ask for the Ministry of Education’s equivalency of the Grade 12 certificate. For this school’s curriculum, 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.

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)
