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:
- Outstanding behaviour, work ethic and personal development — self-reliant students with high leadership skills.
- Child protection judged Outstanding.
- Very good KG attainment and progress in English, mathematics and science.
What they asked the school to improve:
- Primary attainment and progress declined in English, mathematics and science.
- Inspectors ask for more accurate assessment and teaching adapted to individual needs in the Primary phase.
Inclusion (students of determination): Good — 190-plus students identified with special educational needs at the last inspection, in the junior school serving KG to Grade 4 for its Oud Metha sibling. Inspectors record that ‘following admission, the school uses appropriate systems for the identification of students of determination’ and that gifted and talented students are identified — with the published caveat that ‘the provision of differentiated learning activities for these groups of students is not consistent’. The school does not publish detailed information about its additional learning needs provision, so ask directly what the inclusion team looks like and how a plan reaches the classroom. 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.
