Repton School Dubai

You could nearly hear the delight. Following six years of consistent change, Repton Dubai at long last accomplished an Outstanding rating on its seventh endeavor, bound to happen for this prominent, top-level however immoderate Dubai school. The school made it two consecutively in 2015/16 affirming greatness has now well and really installed itself at a school that constantly set its objectives high.

Dispatched in 2007, Repton, situated in Nad Al Sheba, is at present home to more than 2111 understudies (down just shy of 100 on a year ago, and 200 more than two years), right around four times the same number of as its sister school in the UK of the same name. Its school grounds are unlimited, with some unseasoned parents depicting it as "like strolling onto a college grounds".

The school takes young ladies and young men from three to eighteen years old, and offers both day and boarding offices (from Grade 6). Its "Remarkable" rating makes it one of just 16 schools in the emirate to accomplish the evaluation. Repton Dubai is additionally evaluated "Remarkable" by British Schools Overseas (May 2015).

Repton School, Dubai takes after the English National Curriculum from Foundation Stage to Year 11. Understudies are entered for IGCSE toward the end of the optional stage and take after the undeniably in vogue International Baccalaureate Diploma Program at post-16. This is not at all like the UK school which takes after a GCSE course, trailed by the conventional (for the United Kingdom) A' Level educational programs.

WSA talks about the applicable benefits of every educational modules here regarding their methodology, be that as it may you can see the rationale in the deviation. While A' Levels are set up and perceived by colleges around the globe, the IB Diploma is a greater amount of a universal educational modules as far as its syllabus, and apparently in this manner more suited to Dubai and 62 of the 63 nationalities that go to the school.

Note: The biggest single nationality inside the school is, as you would expect, British, be that as it may this is a school additionally supported by the neighborhood group – more than one in 10 understudies is Emirati.

One thing to search for while analyzing IB schools is staff resourcing. The syllabus and strategy of the IB certificate requires more staff and Repton does not disillusion. It utilizes 201 full-time instructors, and 60 showing collaborators making the school one of the better resourced organizations in the emirate as far as educator to-understudy proportions.

One trap no Dubai school has yet to offer, however which a school like Repton presumably has the assets, and space to do, is to offer both A' Levels and the IB. The decision is not about which is better, but rather about which suits the understudy being referred to. A' Levels permit center, the IB permits expansiveness. By offering both and diverting understudies towards the educational programs that best fits their necessities, any school that has the assets would have the capacity to build their outcomes in outer examinations significantly.

Repton School Dubai created critical reputation at its opening, a lot of that essentially from the acclaimed name of the school itself (Dubai loves a brand), consolidated with the city's affection for the new, and the general requirement for good quality foundations. Repton UK appreciates a decent notoriety as an English state funded school. Scholastically (and it's more than only scholastics obviously) it is positioned 97th in a group of UK state funded schools regarding exam execution (A'Level), which may not sound high, but rather puts it best third of an extremely aggressive pack.

It is maybe irrational to anticipate that Repton UAE will offer the same experience of its UK partner – scholastically or comprehensively. One is more than 500 years of age, the other a little more than 5. The school has had its offer of getting teeth issues as any individual who researches on the school will discover from different UAE gatherings. The school appears to be entirely dissimilar to numerous others in the warmed reaction any discourse of it gets. Some really unfriendly, some extremely energetic with all due respect.

In reasonableness to the school the dominant part of negative remarks appear to originate from guardians who don't really have youngsters at the school – albeit a few guardians have really moved their kids from Repton. The guardians of those going to when all is said in done rate profoundly the nature of instructing and care – the school is exceptionally prescribed by guardians, and there is solid fulfillment for scholastic achievement. Lower fulfillment levels exist for criticism, and on school discipline.

Aside the name, a second explanation for the warmed reaction may have something to do with the expense. Expenses at the school range from 47,599 AED for KG1 to more than 100,000 AED for Grade 13. That makes it, with GEMs World Academy, one of the two most costly schools in the UAE and its expenses still obviously reject numerous potential understudies whose guardians may have needed them to go to. It additionally hones the faculties with regards to deciding "quality" – and surely puts the execution and offices Repton offers under the magnifying instrument. (It likewise implies you are far less inclined to pardon the school's underlying "getting teeth torments".)

The school has as of late discharged its outcomes to . It does moderately well. The full results might be found beneath, however 91% accomplish A* to C at GCSE, while IB execution has been enhancing year on year – and its 2015 normal, 34, was on a standard with the main IB schools in Dubai. Its normal score in 2012/13 was 30 and that 4 point increment is strong regarding change. Every point is what might as well be called 2.2% (1 point isolated by 45 focuses (most extreme focuses), times 100).

As indicated by the KHDA, achievement and advancement, educational modules and nature of instructing, learning and evaluation are "Exceptional" at Foundation Stage (noted in 2011/12, 2012/13, 2013/14, 2014/15 and 2015/16 reports). This is obviously where the school has most "history" – the school did not begin taking senior understudies until one year after it had opened. It is at different periods of the school the KHDA notes generally advance. The school is currently evaluated Outstanding for Maths, Sciences and English at Primary and Secondary stage, while post-16 it is appraised Very Good. For Islamic Education and Arabic both execution and achievement are to a great extent appraised Acceptable.

Charges for visitors are obviously higher than the educational cost expenses we have talked about. For boarding choices expenses range from 130,000 AED at Year 6, to 166,000 AED at Year 13. (Note, the expense of boarding in the United Kingdom is shortly what might as well be called 175,000 AED (£9,760 per term) – it doesn't appear to make a difference the age range.)

Repton School Dubai offers various grants – for interior and outer competitors. Try not to ask, certainly don't get. The school had affirmations data on its Web website. At the season of this survey, it had accessibility from Years 1 to 10 (however not nursery or gathering or Years 11 and 12). Ideally a la mode data here.

Note 2: Repton Abu Dhabi opened its entryways in September 2013. At first taking understudies for Nursery (FS1) through to Year 1. Year 2 took after from 2014. The school is housed in two structures on Al Reem Island. The primary admission (Nursery (FS1) to Year 1) is housed in the Foundation School. Year 3 followed in September 2015 with the opening of the second building.
