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
A majority of students attain a high level of knowledge, skills and understanding across most areas of the curriculum. Students' achievements in Islamic education, mathematics and Arabic as an additional language have improved, this year. However, attainment is less strong in Arabic as a first language, in English in the Foundation Stage, and in English and science in the Post-16 phase. Progress in most core subjects is good.
Personal and social development
Students attitudes and behaviors, their understanding of Islam, and their social responsibilities are very well-developed in most phases. A particular improvement has been made in the Foundation Stage and Post-16, where students play an appropriate and influential role in the community. The behaviours of the many new children in the Foundation Stage are developing, as they become used to living and working together in their new environment.
Teaching, curriculum and care
Teaching and student learning skill development remain strong across all phases. Teachers adeptly tailor their plans to diverse student needs, ensuring active engagement in learning. Assessment systems are comprehensive, with robust tracking of individual progress and thorough comparison of internal data with external benchmarks. A rich array of information aids teachers in crafting effective learning experiences.
Wellbeing
The school is committed to the promotion of high levels of well-being and leaders consistently promote and model well-being principles. Careful consideration is given to ensure the school environment is safe and accessible for all students. Parents value the schools vision of tolerance, respect and responsibility. They are encouraged to engage with their child’s educational programmes.
Inclusion
There is an ethos of inclusive education across all aspects of the school. Students of determination are provided with support and curricular modifications. Resources are well designed to meet most students' needs. Students with the most significant needs are well supported. Parents are actively involved the planning for their child’s educational programmes and receive timely feedback. The majority of students of determination acquire a range of knowledge and skills and make good progress.
Leadership and management
School leaders are developing a school with a strong set of values. They, along with the governors, have effective methods of gathering information to widen their knowledge of the school's performance. Leaders and governors work closely with parents, involving them in school life and supporting their understanding of their child's achievements. The management of the school, the development of its staff, the accommodation and the resources all enable the school to provide a high quality of education.

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 feel included in school life and their children’s learning and progress.
p. 20Parents, through the Friends of Winchester and surveys from governors, make positive contributions to the school.
p. 20Termly reports and individual consultation meetings give parents a rounded picture of their children’s achievements.

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 · 1,148 parents responded Source B: Full Inspection Report 2019–20
Some parents express concern about the quality of spoken English by some teachers, class sizes, the length of the school day without an outdoor break and the quality of Arabic teaching.
Almost all who responded to the survey are satisfied with the school, feel it provides good value for money, and believe that school leaders and teachers know their children well.

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 exceeds the expectation of the UAE»47 schools in Dubai hold it now

GEMS Winchester School 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.

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)
