Our Take
Fee comparisonYear 4 tuition is more than 10% above the comparable-school median.
AED 50,753 compared with a median of AED 45,782 across 84 other British schools for age 8, using KHDA 2026-27 fees. Tuition only, excluding transport, uniforms and other extras. A lower price does not establish a better fit for your child.
- Published KHDA rating: Very Good. Read the inspection report and ask the school what has changed since it was published.
- Confirm the actual grade, admissions availability and full written fee quote with each school.

How far can my child continue here?
British · Grades: Pre Primary-Y6
