Questions about the KHDA rating of Royal Grammar School Guildford

What is the KHDA rating of Royal Grammar School Guildford?

Very good, given in the 2023–24 Full Inspection Report. Very good is the second highest of six KHDA levels, from Very weak to Outstanding.

When was Royal Grammar School Guildford last inspected?

The latest report with a rating is from 2023–24. KHDA’s visits resume in 2026–27. A full inspection brings a new rating; a shorter monitoring visit does not.

Has the rating changed?

The 2023–24 report is the school's first, so there is no earlier rating to compare.

Is Very good a good rating?

In KHDA's framework, Good is the level expected of every school and Acceptable is the minimum. Very good and Outstanding sit above Good; Weak and Very weak sit below Acceptable.

Where are the parent reviews?

There are none here. Dubai School Atlas does not collect parents' opinions, and the reports on file have no parents' survey to summarise. The parent communities guide lists where families talk about Dubai schools.

When will the next rating be published?

KHDA has not published a schedule. The next full inspection brings a new rating, and this page updates when the report is published.
