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:
- One of only two Pakistani-curriculum schools inspected in Dubai, serving a community with very few alternatives in the emirate.
- The school has moved up from the Weak ratings recorded in earlier inspection cycles to Acceptable — the regulator’s minimum expectation, and a real change for the students in it.
What they asked the school to improve:
- Acceptable is the minimum the regulator expects, not a mark of quality — read the full report on the KHDA directory before deciding.
- The published record for this school is thin compared with most in this register: we will not manufacture detail we cannot verify, so treat a visit and direct questions to leaders as essential rather than optional.
- Ask specifically about attainment in English, mathematics and science by phase, about staffing stability, and about what the current improvement plan funds this year.
Inclusion (students of determination): Weak — KHDA’s published inclusion rating table records this school at the lowest level, and one earlier inspection finding explains why it matters practically: the school is inclusive and has begun to identify students with SEND using a range of assessments including outside specialists where appropriate, but not all students identified as having SEND appear on the SEND register. A child can be known to need help and still be invisible in the system that allocates it, and that is the specific thing to ask about. Context that belongs beside it: at fees of roughly AED 3,100 to 6,260 this is among the most affordable schools in the emirate, serving a community with very few alternatives, and it has climbed from eight years rated Weak to Acceptable overall. Both facts are true at once. See the special educational needs guide for the questions to ask on a visit.
