This school is a fairly good school. From admissions Ms.Elaine and team are responsive and willing to assist. Their teacher Ms. Fatima Jalal is always ready to help and interactive with both online and in classes. It’s amazing how teachers get to do both. The new principal Ms.Alley is also participating in their so early morning Grammar radio and encourage all students and year level to participate with extra curricular activities spelling bees, cooking competitions and the like. The doctor/nurse also is very helpful and informative.Any school you go to you might find something to dislike and like but it all depends on the teachers, the facilities are secondary but primarily happy teachers happy classes and happy kids. So I guess, they just need to work on keeping their teachers supported as they deserve and I think this school should also begin working their way to become an International school soon to encourage diverse student group and expansion. Overall it’s a positive experience.

This is the worst school ever. Run by old bitter women who aren’t supported if their teachers or students. Just money grabbers providing the absolute lowest form of teaching. I spoke to an old teacher from this school and she told me they made her pay for her own visa. Horrible ethics towards both their teachers and students.

In all fairness, this is my review to Grammar School as a new parent.I must say I am impressed with Ms Elaine, the school administrator.She replied my many emails/enquiries promptly with patience and professionalism. She arrange CAT4 assessment entrance test to the school immediately on the next day via online. And the amazing part, it is given at no cost at all, but the result was given a day after with no delay.She follow up on all the documentation required without fuss.However, the trip/tour to the school was less impressive. But then again, for the fees they offered for a British Curriculum in Dubai, no one should expect anything more. It is not The Principal, teachers or administration fault that the school is already 51 years old and with no facilities.The school should have have assign a teacher to conduct the school tour so more emphasis could be made on the academics performance than the school facilities. Instead they had assign a school housekeeper to do so.I must say the school equipments, table and chairs are not of the latest version and classrooms are small. The canteen, school bookshop looks horribly old. But the school is well maintained. One of the good thing is that the Principal office looks accessible and open concept for any parent without much protocols. The least is the school have easy parking space, security guards presence clean toilets and a separate primary and secondary school sections.During enrollment, again Ms Elaine shows alot of compassion and make it easy when ask for a structured monthly installment plans. She called upon the Accountant whom is able to give instant decision for a 10months installments with PDC cheques without much fuss. In fact, he come personally to check if there was anything else needed to complete the process. This is much appreciated for parents with more than 1 child. I am sure many other schools requires a long process when it come to payment issues. What impressed me during the wait, almost all parents was asking for installments, and they were treated with respect without making it look like a big or poor thing.I must say given the high operation cost of maintaining the school cause it to have lack of staffs to handle school uniforms and school books. The school uniforms is handled by a third party, Threads a famous uniforms vendor who keep almost not much stocks for Grammar School for an unknown reason. I suggest the school should work with 3rd party for online purchase of school books in future.Given all the above, and almost many poor reviews in the past about the school, I am excited to see how the teachers take it to the next level. It doesnt matter whatever their nationalities are, as long as they are qualified and dedicated. At the end of the day, for the price the school fees offered, it is understandable why the Principal is the sole British employee.I wish Grammar School all the success during this hard times to maintain the school operations. I hope the school owners see the importance to invest where necessarily they deem fit to sustain it. The immediate thing is that they should at least invest on CCTV to eliminate fear for parents concerns over school bullies, as previously reviewed.Above all, I hope Grammar School provides a good atmosphere and a positive aura for all students.

For the last two years my kids are studying in grammarschool and what i have observed is unconditional support from teachers for academic and non academic issues.Teachers are ready to answer our queries even on weekends and they are ready to support students if they are willing learners.

I wish I could say its a good school but unfortunately its just the complete opposite. As per my experience in this school the main problem here is the students arent treated as per their age (atleast for me) and there is no fun and creativity in teaching. Most importantly, they dont provide the standard facility for the amount of money we pay. Whereas there are other schools which are much lot better with the same or even lesser fees. In a nutshell, I feel this school does not worth a shot.

There have been improvement since the new management , As a parent appreciate the School Principal hard work, efforts & grateful to know our children being introduce to new educational level but still there is big issue on transportation system ,children address to health issues ,been neglected by the transportation management and No action taken when parents plea or the child face , long hours taken in bus drop time , wrong route management made childrens health suffer .late hours of drop time affecting children health, draining their energy less interest in studies affecting on their academic performance .

I studied in this schoool several years ago ... and all I have is bitter feelings , I recall a lot of favoritism , partiality and the list is unending . Same students being selected etc . Every time I think of this school , it reminds me of all the unfair treatment I ever received from this school and it’s heart breaking

All parents who think of putting there children in this school. Please stop dont put your children as there is no thing as discipline in this school. The student fight with the teachers and the teachers arent able to do anything. In addition there are drug addicts who dont want to study and disrupt the flow of the class. The English is just bad students dont know basic spellings and cant form basic sentences. Well its a school filled with students who were either kicked from previous school or failed. Anyways pleaseParents looking for education please dont enroll your kids in this school its going to be a big mistake. Your kid will change and will start to go down in studies.Its a school where the students cuss (say bad words) to the teachers and have no respect to elders.PLEASE DONT ENROLL IN THIS SCHOOLIm telling this as my kids have told me what happens and now I know what this school is. Has a poor KHDA rating.Dont look the fees in the website its going to be more expensive than that. Put your kid in Cambridge or Gems Westminister as these school are on a whole another level than this schoolPlease do not enroll........Studies are poor...Students behaviour is poor...OVERALL THIS SCHOOL IS POOR AND ONLY TAKE MONEY ABSOLUTELY USELESS IF YOU ENROLL YOUR KIDS HERE...Thank I hope you look forward to this advice..

Great to be associated as an advisor with the new avatar of Grammar School. It is most gratifying to hear parents, students, teachers and staff say good things about the visible and invisible changes after the new leadership and the new management have taken over.

Clueless management and staff. Pretends to be affordable british curriculum school but they force you to pay extra for summer school saying your child needs extra classes. My kid spends 2 hours each way on the school bus for a distance of barely 13kms. Complete and utter mismanagemnt of bus routes too.

As per KHDA their tuition fees is 5000 Aed but they are charging almost 13000 Aed without Transportation, while admission times their website will be shutdown and after the registration procedure they will open it again.Samsung tablet you will buy and complete year kids will not use that, 1500 Aed for Electronic software for FS grades but complete year they will not use.At the time of registration they will tell you that your kid require summer camp and for summer camp Aed 2000 they will charge included transportation and summer camp days are 14 only.The parents should ask them about KHDA certified fee structure.Education Quality: 60%Administration : 30%Finance Department : 30%Teachers Quality: 10%Curriculum activities : 5%Building & Misc: 2%Above all their Management dont want to even face the parents, even principal dont have the road map to show the parents. If you have complaint or some issue address it to front women and after that they will sleep for 3 months and at the payment time they start doing the same drama.This post is for those Parents who want good education for the kid who just step in to the school. Guys, check the Khaleej National as well after one year of payments you will regret that why not you choose Khaleej National. I have paid Aed 23000 for all starting from April 2018 to March 2019 including all.

This is the WORST school ever recorded on uae, poor teachers low quality area and facilties, teachers doing false accusations against innocent students, rate of being bullied is very high, poor classroom facilities, not enough facilities to be known as a proper school such as no swimming pool, no auditorium NOTHING.Poor management of buses as well. This is all true. The people who says are 5 stars are just teachers who worked in here. As well as low quality receptionists who pretended to work hard but actually not, always ready to persuade parents to give money from school, also this stupid summer school is a wy to get money because of this daft saying of oh, your son/daughter is so bad, he needs summer school obviously just for money, always money and every staff here is all lazy. I am telling the truth because I studied here. If all of this is solved i might as well give a 4 star but other than that, this is the WORST school ever! I would never RECOMMEND this school to others because the school doesnt even know how to teach, every classroom in here has at least 5-6 bullies. This school is poor as well, low quality appliances and almost to know cleanliness at all. Every period finished at this school has a tleast 2 fights upstairs. No security as well.
