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

In the Kindergarten (KG) children’s learning skills are underpinned by their enjoyment of learning. Activities in lessons enable them to make connections between different subjects and explore their skills. In the primary and middle phases, students’ achievement is mostly very good in English, mathematics and science. It is mostly outstanding in the secondary phase. Across the school students’ achievement is good in Islamic education and improving rapidly in Arabic, except in the secondary phase where it remains acceptable.

Personal and social development

Students in all phases demonstrate outstanding personal and social development. All student are very enthusiastic learners. They work together very happily and support each other extremely well in a calm but busy learning environment, where everyone has a strong sense of being part of the school community. They listen carefully to their teachers, participate fully in lessons and show a keen interest in their learning. As a result, they behave outstandingly well in all areas of the school.

Teaching, curriculum and care

Teachers at the school largely ensure that learning objectives are prominently displayed and shared with students, fostering clarity about expectations. They employ a diverse range of activities to capture students' interest and employ probing questions to deepen comprehension. Assessment data plays a pivotal role in tailoring lessons to meet student needs. However, the tasks set for students often exhibit a uniform level of difficulty.

Wellbeing

Leaders exemplify and uphold a culture of positive well-being. Feedback from surveys is collected from staff, students, and parents. Students play an active role in school life, confidently seeking guidance when needed. Staff members are well-cared for and report high job satisfaction. Parental input is valued. Vulnerable students receive specialised support, including speech, occupational, and behaviour assistance. Various initiatives, such as Fantastic Friday and a wide array of extracurricular activities, engage students.

Inclusion

The school is highly inclusive, with a proficient inclusion team adept at identifying and addressing students' needs. Special educators and teachers collaborate to create academic and pastoral pathways, offering extra support through intervention sessions. Robust home-school connections involve parents in decision-making, keeping them well-informed about their children's progress. The school also maintains effective systems for monitoring student progress.

Leadership and management

The strong leadership of the principal has been the driving force in meeting the needs of this school. The principal is strongly supported by an increasingly knowledgeable leadership team. Collectively, they have established an inclusive school with a purposeful learning culture and achieved very good standards of students’ learning and personal development. Relationships and communications in the school are professional and productive. Student well-being is central to all decisions made.

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 take advantage of a wide range of opportunities to be involved in the life of the school. p. 21
  • They participate in events and contribute by giving talks on careers, for example. p. 21
  • Senior leaders gather the views of the wider parent body in a range of ways, including formal surveys. p. 21

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 · 427 parents responded Source B: Full Inspection Report 2019–20

  • Parents believe that their children’s social and emotional well-being is secure, and that relationships and learning in school and at home are good.
  • Almost all consider that their children’s learning, physical, and health and safety needs are met.
  • Almost all parents are satisfied with the quality of education and communication provided by the school.

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)
