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 — the school lifted itself out of a long run of Acceptable ratings, having been rated Acceptable consistently before 2022.
- A large, established community school: over 2,800 students with 199 teachers, 32 teaching assistants and four guidance counsellors.
- It has adopted Dubai’s Inclusive Education Policy Framework and supports 165 students of determination — a substantial cohort in an affordable CBSE setting.
- Among the most accessible fees in the register, at roughly AED 9,700–21,000, in Dubai Silicon Oasis.
What they asked the school to improve:
- The improvement is recent: everything before 2022 was Acceptable, so ask what changed and who is accountable for holding it.
- The school runs to Grade 10 in its published grade range — check directly which grades are open for the year you need, and plan the senior-school move if it does not run to Grade 12.
- Ratios are stretched at this fee level: with over 2,800 students to 199 teachers, ask how a child who is neither struggling nor exceptional is tracked.
Inclusion (students of determination): 165 students of determination supported under Dubai’s Inclusive Education Policy Framework, which the school has formally adopted — a substantial cohort in one of the most affordable CBSE schools in this register; ask how that provision is staffed relative to the size of the roll. 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.
