What the inspectors said
Paraphrased from KHDA’s inspection report for 2025-26, the school’s first full inspection - read the complete report on KHDA’s page for this school.
Strengths the inspectors named:
- Attainment and progress in English, mathematics and science - the core academic measures, and the reason this school reached Good at its first full inspection, two years after opening in 2023.
- Students’ attitudes, behaviour and relationships, community involvement and environmental awareness.
- The welfare and safeguarding of all students, and the promotion of safe and healthy lifestyles.
- Governance, partnerships with parents - described as very effective, with parents reporting strong satisfaction - and strong links with the community.
- Management, staffing, facilities and resources, supporting high staff morale; self-evaluation is called robust and improvement “considerable and swift”.
What they asked the school to improve:
- Raise the quality of teaching and learning by sharing the best practice that already exists, and matching activities to the needs of all students.
- Raise achievement in Islamic Education and Arabic as a first language, with higher expectations, more challenge, and more work on writing and memorisation of the Holy Qur’an.
- Develop middle leaders’ expertise in teaching, self-evaluation and improvement planning - the report notes not all have the skills yet to drive improvement.
Inclusion (students of determination): Acceptable in KHDA’s directory and its ratings table. 152 students of determination out of 2,254 on roll - close to 7%, a high proportion. Inspectors record a clear inclusive ethos and strengthening leadership, but say identification tools are uneven in accuracy, that individual education plans often lack clear targets and systematic monitoring, and that progress for these students is therefore uneven across subjects and phases. Parent partnerships, including with parents of children with additional needs, are called strong and trusting. If your child needs support, ask what has changed since the February 2026 inspection, and who monitors the plans. See the special educational needs guide for the questions to ask on a visit.
Two figures worth weighing beside the rating: a teacher-student ratio of 1:17 with 60 teaching assistants, and teacher turnover of 25% in a school only three years old. Ask what drove it and what has changed.

What we don't know about this school
Every other page on this site tells you what we have verified. This one tells you what we have not, because a register you cannot calibrate is worth less than one you can. We do not currently hold:
- whether it is co-educational, boys or girls
- how many children are on roll
- its facilities - sports, arts, science, library
- published exam results or university destinations
- what registration, transport, uniform and meals add to the fee
- the year it opened - the figure we held was wrong on every school we checked
- an admissions email or direct line
None of it is guessed or filled in from a similar school. Ask for any of it using the form below and it moves up the queue - requests are how we decide what to collect next.
Ask this school a question - we'll do the asking
Tell us the year group, and we will ask Arcadia Global School what it costs, whether there is a place, and what the next step is. Then we send you what they say. Every answer we get is also checked into this school's record, so the next parent finds it already here.
Your details stay with us. We contact the school ourselves, and we do not pass your name or address to them, or to any agent, unless you ask us to. No school pays to appear in this guide, and none can pay to change what it says.
