In context
It is one of 51 schools in this guide currently rated Acceptable.
These comparisons are computed from the verified data in this register, not editorial opinion.
What the inspectors said
Paraphrased from the last full DSIB inspection we could verify (2023–24 cycle) and its published record — read the complete report on the official KHDA directory. These findings are from the 2023–24 cycle and are now more than two years old. Leadership, staffing and provision can change substantially in that time — see the note below on why every rating in Dubai is older than it looks.
Strengths the inspectors named:
- A long-established Pakistani-curriculum school serving a community with few alternatives in the emirate.
- Acceptable in the 2023–24 cycle — a substantial recovery for a school KHDA rated Unsatisfactory in earlier inspection cycles, and the direction matters as much as the current position.
What they asked the school to improve:
- Acceptable is the least KHDA expects of any school — that is the honest headline.
- We have not verified a current published fee range, enrolment or detailed inspection findings from sources we trust, and we would rather leave a blank than fill it.
- Ask what changed to move the school off its earlier rating, who drove it, and whether those people are still in post.
Inclusion (students of determination): Acceptable in KHDA’s published key findings. Beyond that rating we have verified nothing about this school’s inclusion provision and will not estimate it. Ask which of the four statutory inclusion roles are filled and by whom, how many students of determination are on roll, and whether your child’s name would sit on the SEND register rather than simply be known to a teacher. 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 — 212 of 212 so far, dated per cycle, never invented. A school without a summary yet is unread, not unjudged.
