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, a second consecutive Good after the breakthrough in March 2023 — the school having been rated Acceptable in 2018–19 and again in May 2022.
- Foundation Stage children achieved Very Good progress in both English and mathematics — the highest ratings in the 2023–24 inspection.
- Inspectors specifically highlighted children’s Foundation Stage progress, students’ personal development and the school’s strong parent relationships as standout strengths.
- A genuinely inclusive community school: 55 students assessed as students of determination in 2023–24, a heavily staffed and funded SEND department including speech and language therapy, and a campus equipped for physical disabilities including a lift.
What they asked the school to improve:
- A small school still expanding toward Year 13, acquired in June 2025 by International Schools Partnership — ask what changes under new ownership, and what the expansion timetable actually is.
- Two cycles at Good after two at Acceptable: the direction is right and the record is short.
Inclusion (students of determination): 55 students assessed as students of determination in 2023–24, supported by what the school describes as a heavily staffed and funded SEND department — including speech and language therapy — on a campus equipped for physical disabilities including a lift. See the special educational needs guide for the questions to ask on a visit.
