SUMMARY INSPECTION REPORT 2023-2024

Within its inspection infrastructure, the KHDA places great importance on student and teacher wellbeing, for which it relies on the OECD definition, namely: “the psychological, cognitive, social and physical functioning and capabilities that students need to live a happy and fulfilling life.’

In establishing a wellbeing rating for each school, it considers how happy schools are and the systems each has in place to promote wellbeing.

British Schools Overseas (BSO)

British curriculum-based schools in Dubai that are members of the Council of British International Schools (COBIS) can volunteer to have BSO inspections, which are carried out at the same time as those by the Dubai Schools Inspection Bureau (DSIB).

Participating schools are inspected every three years against standards that are equivalent to those for independent schools in the UK, considering local requirements. The inspection process is like that carried out in the UK by the Office for Standards in Education (Ofsted).
