Our Take
Fee comparisonYear 4 tuition is more than 10% above the comparable-school median.
AED 65,098 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: Outstanding. 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.

03 · Inspection
What does the inspection tell us?
Published KHDA rating: Outstanding.
Read the linked report for its date, strengths and improvement areas. The overall rating alone cannot establish the right fit for your child. Ask the school what has changed since the published information.
04 · Next stage
How far can my child continue here?
British · Grades: FS1-Y6
The listed grades end before the final school years. Ask where pupils continue afterwards, how transfers work and whether another application is needed.
05 · Admissions
What should we confirm before applying?
Ask about a place in the correct grade, assessment and waiting-list arrangements, learning support, the full fee quote and refund conditions. Published fees do not mean a place is available.
