I have only heard good things about it.
I know of 2 teachers who worked there, and were very happy there too.
I believe its only a small school (compared to some others here), and it has a British curriculum.

Sorry I cant be more helpful

Hi,
many thanks for your help. Also what about Kings Dubai, sorry for all the questions. My kids are British aged 7 , 4, 4.

thanks again

Sorry, I cant help with Kings.
Maybe choose the school closest to where you will be living, as traffic can be quite horrendous.
Are either of these schools close by to you.?

I'm not sure where you mean when you say 'business district'? Anyway, both are primary schools only and both have quite a good reputation. Kings is actually one of the three schools we applied to but we ended up with another school. I have a friend whose child will start at Safa in September. She liked it for the 'community' feel of it and the fact that it was quite a small school. How old are your children? Kings have actually closed their waiting lists for some years as they are quite a popular school. Both Kings and Safa are more or less in the same area. (Umm Suqueim/Jumeirah). Sorry I can't give you first hand information, but I guess it's better than nothing.

Sorry, just read the ages of your children. Personally, I'd be happy to send my kids to either of these schools.
