The school’s overall performance is acceptable. Attainment in all subjects and all phases is at least acceptable. In the Kindergarten (KG), attainment and progress is good in Islamic education, Arabic and social studies. Students make satisfactory progress throughout the school. The most continuous progress in learning is in KG and Grades 10, 11 and 12. This is because teaching is better matched to individual ability. In almost all classes, students engage in lessons, work together and acquire knowledge. They have less well-developed research and enquiry skills. This is one of the reasons why progress is relatively slower in the primary and middle phases. Attitudes to work are good and behaviour in lessons and other activities is acceptable. An orderly environment fosters positive relationships and attitudes to learning. In the KG, children’s learning skills are good. Students’ understanding of the values of Islam and respect for the culture of the UAE is good. Teaching, while acceptable overall, lacks consistency. Weaker lessons are not planned well enough to meet the needs of all abilities. The school has good arrangements to ensure students are kept safe, secure and healthy. Communication with parents is good. Leadership and management are acceptable. Senior leaders have an acceptable understanding of how well the school is performing.
