- Ask us and we will ask them
We hold this school's details and put questions to it for parents - fees for a year group, whether there is a place, what happens next. KHDA's own page for the school, linked below, carries its published contact details if you would rather go direct.

In context
Its mid-range fee is about 2 per cent below the median for Indian (CBSE/ICSE) schools in this guide (AED 17,471). It is one of 52 schools in this guide currently rated Acceptable.
Worth comparing: GEMS Our Own Indian School (AED 7,209 to 14,696 a year) - a lower-fee option in the same area.
These comparisons are computed from the verified data in this register, not editorial opinion.
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:
- Good attainment and progress in science in Kindergarten, and good progress in Islamic Education across the school.
- A positive learning culture and effective community partnerships, established by leaders.
- Students’ personal development and wellbeing, underpinned by respectful relationships, with attendance well managed.
What they asked the school to improve:
- Raise attainment and progress to at least Good in all subjects and phases - the headline task behind the Acceptable rating.
- Improve teaching so that work in lessons is matched to students’ attainment levels.
- Carry out regular, rigorous safety checks across the site, and supervise Kindergarten children as they enter and leave. Inspectors record locked fire doors and insufficient supervision of KG transport - a specific, checkable finding, and the first thing to ask about on a visit.
- Improve governance: governors are found to lack sufficient challenge and follow-through on critical actions.
Inclusion (students of determination): Acceptable in KHDA’s directory and its ratings table. 68 students of determination out of 895 on roll. Inspectors state that the processes for identifying students of determination and adapting the curriculum for them are underdeveloped. For a family whose child needs support, that is the finding to put directly to the school, with a request for evidence of what has changed since the February 2026 inspection. See the special educational needs guide for the questions to ask on a visit.
Also recorded: the school’s own judgements on teaching quality are described as overly generous, and limited resources are said to affect the quality of learning. A school that over-rates itself is slower to fix what is wrong, which is why that sentence matters more than it looks.

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 Dewvale 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.
