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 2023-24 - read the complete report on KHDA's page for this school. 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.
Strengths the inspectors named:
- A strong sense of community, with students and adults working together in a climate of mutual respect.
- Outstanding links with parents.
- Students' well-developed sense of social responsibility, and a keen awareness and respect for Islamic values.
- A strong emphasis on the wellbeing and personal development of all students.
- The outstanding quality of work associated with the National Agenda.
What they asked the school to improve:
- Make teaching and learning consistently high quality across phases, classes and subjects - consistency, rather than any single weakness, is the theme of this report.
- Use assessment information to shape what happens in the classroom.
- Improve provision in Islamic Education and Arabic so achievement is at least Good in all phases.
- Hold leaders at all levels to account for learning, teaching and assessment at classroom level.
Inclusion (students of determination): Very Good in KHDA's directory and its 2023-24 ratings table - a band above the school's Good overall, which for a family whose child needs support is the more relevant of the two. 87 students of determination out of 1,543. Inspectors record a well-qualified and trained inclusion team, on-entry assessment that identifies a wide range of need, and parents delighted with the support their children receive - set against interventions that are not yet fully consistent from lesson to lesson. See the special educational needs guide for the questions to ask on a visit.
Context: 1,543 students with 94 teachers.

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:
- its fees - this school has not published them
- 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 The Indian Academy 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.
