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

Across all subjects and phases, student achievement is broadly in line with expectations. However, in English in the secondary phase and science in the primary phase, students’ attainment and progress are stronger. The children’s learning skills are good in Kindergarten (KG). However, it is only acceptable in the primary, middle, and secondary phases.

Personal and social development

Students' attitudes and behaviour are now very good in the primary, middle and secondary phases. The students have a good understanding of their own culture and heritage in KG, primary and in the middle phase. This has improved in secondary to now be very good. Their understanding of environmental issues of sustainability has improved in KG and the primary phase, and it is now good across all phases.

Teaching, curriculum and care

The quality of teaching for effective learning is acceptable across the school, with the strongest teaching observed in upper primary grades and the secondary phase. While the school has assessment analysis and intervention strategies in place, their consistent application across all subjects and classes remains a challenge. Moreover, the effective utilisation of available assessment data by teachers to meet student needs is not a prominent feature of the provision.

Wellbeing

Leaders and governors recognise the impact on student outcomes and well-being of the high turnover of staff and view this as a high priority for improvement. Generally, staff show great care and concern for students’ well-being. Parents are responsive to working with the school if there are any concerns raised affecting students’ well-being. A nurturing and vibrant classroom climate where students are enabled to flourish and achieve their best is not fully embedded across subjects and phases.

Inclusion

Leaders promote an inclusive ethos and show a strong commitment to improving this provision. Learning plans could be further improved to provide greater clarity on targets and strategies for teaching and learning. Parents are fully involved in the development of support plans through - regular review meetings. The quality of curriculum differentiation, support and the progress of - students of determination in lessons is too variable. The development of robust systems to track progress against targets in support plans is in the early stages.

Leadership and management

The newly appointed principal and senior leaders are committed to school improvement. They have nurtured a strong relationship with the school community. Parents are supportive and always feel welcome to the school. The governing body represent the stakeholders, supports leaders and holds leaders accountable for students’ achievement. As the school continues to grow, they invest in increased staffing and improved facilities.

What parents told KHDA (survey, 2019–20)

The 2023–24 inspection report has no parents’ survey section; this is how the 2019–20 report, the newest with one and 6 years old, sums up parents’ answers, in the inspectors’ words.

2019–20 inspection · 610 parents responded Source A: Full Inspection Report 2019–20

Overall

  • Almost all parents who responded feel satisfied with the quality of education.
  • A majority feel that they are rarely involved in activities.

Safety and care

  • They think that their children are safe in the school.

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
Good
«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
AcceptableThis school
«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

Gulf Model 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.

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:

  • Indian: the Grade 12 and Grade 10 board certificates, with Grade 11 transcripts.

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)
