What parents told KHDA (survey, 2017–18)

398 parents responded

The 2023–24 inspection report has no parents’ survey section; this is how the 2017–18 report, the newest with one and 8 years old, sums up parents’ answers, in the inspectors’ words.

  • Almost all of the parents who responded to the survey are satisfied with the quality of education the school provides. Full Inspection Report 2017–18, page 20
  • A significant minority feel there are not enough extra-curricular activities and academic and career guidance could be improved. Full Inspection Report 2017–18, page 20
