KHDA Inspection Report

We are proud to have received the rating of GOOD in our last inspection in 2019.

Our school was graded ‘GOOD’, with several ‘VERY GOOD’ and “OUTSTANDING” aspects highlighted by the inspectorate. These included attainment and progress in mathematics, learning skills, student’s personal and social development, innovation skills, curriculum design and child protection and safeguarding.

Read the findings of the KHDA report here.

Lessons are planned and resourced well and most teachers create a productive learning environment. Teachers use a range of teaching strategies and develop critical thinking in many subjects. Assessment across the school is more consistent. Teachers use assessment data effectively in lesson planning and tracking of students' progress, but do not always modify lessons sufficiently to meet the learning needs of all student groups.
