Summary of ADEK Inspection

The senior leadership team was restructured and leadership is now much improved. The school provides a safe and secure environment for students though it does not adequately prepare them for their future education. Students’ understanding and appreciation of UAE culture and heritage is one of the school’s strengths. They know how to live healthy lifestyles but their attainment in most core subjects is weak. While some aspects of teaching are good, especially in Grades 4 and 5, the overall effectiveness of teaching is weak in almost half of all lessons. In the minority of lessons in Grades 2 and 3, boys often lose interest and misbehave. This affects the learning and progress of other students. The principal and newly formed senior leadership team are aware of the situation and also the problems associated with the recent high turnover of staff and rapid rise in student numbers. They have a clear vision for school improvement but have not yet fully implemented plans and strategies to improve the situation. Parents are fully supportive of the school. The school benefits from good premises.

School’s Strengths

• The school’s arrangements for the protection, care, health and safety of students.
• The promotion of the culture and heritage of the UAE.
• The vision and direction of the newly formed leadership team.
