- 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.

These comparisons are computed from the verified data in this register, not editorial opinion.
What the inspectors said
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 bottom of what is permitted, 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): Acceptable in KHDA’s directory and its published 2023-24 ratings table, matching the school’s overall judgement. One inspection finding explains why the detail matters more than the band: 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.
Inspector summaries are being added school by school as each report is read - 221 of 230 so far, dated per cycle, never invented. A school without a summary yet is unread, not unjudged.

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
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 H.H.Sheikh Rashid Pakistani 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.
