What the inspectors said
Paraphrased from the last full DSIB inspection (2023–24 cycle) and its published record — read the complete report on the official KHDA directory.
Strengths the inspectors named:
- Good in 2023–24 — the continuation of a clear climb from an Acceptable rating in 2019–20, with several sub-domains now touching Very Good.
- Health and safety including child protection rated Outstanding, as is students’ personal development — a very positive environment of responsible attitudes, self-discipline and respectful relationships.
- Leadership rated Very Good — a grade above the school’s overall rating, and historically the strongest signal of where a school is heading.
- English achievement a particular strength in KG, Middle and Secondary, with very good science attainment higher up and Islamic Education progress improved to at least Good everywhere.
- National Agenda standards very good, with reading-age gaps closing after targeted NGRT training for teachers.
What they asked the school to improve:
- Increase the rigour of self-evaluation so leaders hold an accurate picture of strengths and gaps.
- Ensure all staff can interpret benchmark assessment data, and build every teacher’s capacity to support reading.
- Wellbeing sits at Good — effectively monitored, with the counsellor appreciated, but not yet a whole-school strength.
Inclusion (students of determination): Good — 78 students of determination supported through a push-in and pull-out model led by a Head of Inclusion, with five students identified as gifted and talented and eleven receiving English language learner support. Two commitments the school publishes and a family should hold it to: it does not charge additional fees for SEND provision, and it states it will not refuse a place to a child with SEND, offering priority admission to siblings of students with SEN requirements. Priority admission for siblings of children with additional needs is rare enough in this market to be worth naming. See the special educational needs guide for the questions to ask on a visit.
Inspector summaries are being added school by school as each report is read — 169 of 169 so far, dated per cycle, never invented. A school without a summary yet is unread, not unjudged.
