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 enjoy their learning and are focused in lessons. This is seen to greatest effect in the strong performance of students in science. In both English and mathematics, students do well in all phases. In Primary, both Islamic education and Arabic have improved, and students are now making good progress. Work still needs to be done to improve the subjects in the other phases.

Personal and social development

Students consistently exhibit maturity and responsibility within the school, embodying Islamic universal values in their conduct. Their excellent work ethic is complemented by a collaborative spirit, as they readily assist and share knowledge with peers. Environmental stewardship is a notable attribute, with younger students actively engaged in eco-friendly practices such as litter collection and recycling materials for creative projects.

Teaching, curriculum and care

Teachers across all stages possess deep subject knowledge, particularly in science, and have a clear understanding of pedagogy. The use of digital technology enhances learning, and the rapport between teachers and students significantly enriches the educational experience. Assessments, both internal and external, align with curriculum goals, providing parents with precise updates on their children's progress.

Wellbeing

School leaders prioritise the well-being of their community, with clear policies engaging everyone in supporting personal and collective wellbeing. However, well-being metrics are not fully integrated into performance evaluations. Feedback is actively used to enhance provisions, and student input leads to meaningful changes. The school offers extensive well-being initiatives and extracurricular activities, valuing staff work-life balance and satisfaction highly. The 'Thrive' program empowers students in managing well-being, fostering a safe, supportive, and positive learning environment.

Inclusion

The school is highly inclusive. A highly qualified inclusion team has the support of learning support assistants. Very effective identification procedures are in place. Highly effective communication means parents are consistently well informed about their children’s progress. Individual Education Plans (IEPs) are supported by parents. Alternative education pathways in the senior phase, offer limited but appropriate choices. Students typically make better than expected progress in both their learning and personal development.

Leadership and management

Under the guidance of a committed principal, leadership at every level is dedicated to enhancing student education and ensuring robust parental engagement. The recruitment and retention of staff, with the support of the governing body, are prioritised, reflecting the strategic direction of the school. High morale pervades the school, contributing significantly to the exemplary behaviour observed among students. The exceptional facilities and resources are highly valued by the school community, fostering a very positive learning environment.

What parents told KHDA (survey, 2018–19)

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

  • Parents appreciate teachers’ prompt, purposeful and highly personalised support for their children. p. 10

Before each inspection, KHDA surveys parents; this is how the 2018–19 inspection report, 7 years ago, sums up their answers in the inspectors’ words, and parents’ opinions may have changed since.

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.

Jebel Ali School was rated Very good in 2023–24, one of 47 schools at this level.

  • With an average score of 641, the school exceeded its set target in the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study (PIRLS) 2021 by 36 points.
  • In benchmark assessment over two years, students sustained an outstanding level in science.
  • They improved by one level in English and mathematics, thus becoming outstanding in all three subjects.
  • The school's most recent reading literacy skills assessment reveals that the majority of students’ reading literacy scores are 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).

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)
