Ain Al Khaleej Private School

Summary of KHDA Inspection

The quality of education provided by the school is weak. Senior leaders, supported by the governors, have created a calm working environment where staff and students are beginning to tackle low educational standards. The school now has a more consistent approach towards improving the quality of learning and teaching.

Academic achievement is not rising as quickly as it could because teaching does not consistently challenge the students or make the most of their abilities. There is still too much emphasis on the teacher imparting knowledge to the whole class at the expense of students having to think for themselves or consider things critically. In the lessons where they are appropriately challenged, the students rise to much higher standards. The curriculum is not modified well enough to match the students’ needs. The assessment of students’ performance is weak.

The staff have appropriately high expectations of students’ personal development; behavior is good and relationships are positive. The care and well-being of students is appropriately assured.

School’s strengths

• Establishing a leadership team which has helped to create an environment where students are enabled to learn
• Provision for the care, guidance, and support of students, including their safety, is much improved
• Students’ positive attitudes towards learning, they behave well and attendance and punctuality are now good.
