National Charity School Primary (Br of The National Charity School for Boys L.L.C)

Most students make progress in line with curriculum expectations and attain well in most subjects. Their improving skills, knowledge and understanding are evident in their work in observed lessons and over time in their written work. They do better in Arabic as a first language and Islamic education than in the other subjects. Students' use of technology in lessons is limited, and they tend to depend too much on the teacher in learning.

Students typically find learning enjoyable and hold a favourable view of their school. While their behaviour in the classroom may not consistently meet ideal standards, they exhibit a strong understanding of Islamic values, UAE culture, and global cultures. However, they may have limited knowledge about their own cultural heritage. These students are socially engaged, showing concern for their school environment, and actively participating in various activities that benefit both the school and the local community.

The quality of teaching remains at an acceptable level. Students are not consistently provided with sufficient opportunities for independent learning or exploration without direct teacher intervention, though there is a gradual shift towards reducing teacher-centered lessons. While the school collects and reviews test results, their effective integration into lesson planning is lacking.

The leadership has a vision for well-being within their policies, although they may not reference it frequently. There are occasional assessments of what's working well and areas needing improvement, but these assessments don't always lead to concrete changes in their plans. The school community, including parents and students, collaboratively participates in shaping well-being initiatives. Curriculum plans intermittently factor in students' well-being. Students are gradually developing an understanding of what contributes to their own self-esteem and well-being.

The principal and governance promote a vision of inclusion. The school's structure is generally effective in addressing the diverse needs of students, including students of determination. Teachers usually possess a good understanding of their students' requirements, with assistance from external experts in identifying and planning for those needs. Not all teachers refer to students' individual education plans when planning and teaching. Parents of students with determination express high levels of satisfaction with the school.

The principal provides valuable support to the newly appointed middle leaders, enhancing their induction. The school's planning covers a broad range of aspects but sometimes lacks a sharp focus on the most critical matters. School leaders maintain effective collaboration with parents, who regard the school as a second home. Governors oversee the performance of school leaders, although it might benefit from more structured organization. The school possesses adequate resources required for teaching and learning.
