About Kings' School Dubai
Kings' School Dubai was founded in 2004 by Tayeb Al Baker, opening adjacent to the iconic Burj Al Arab in Umm Suqeim with just 64 pupils, and has since grown into the original school in a family of three Kings' schools across Dubai. It holds the unique distinction of being the only school in the United Arab Emirates to have received an "Outstanding" rating from the Dubai Schools Inspection Bureau every year since inspections began.
Kings' School Dubai is a British primary school serving over 1,000 to 1,130 students from FS1 to Year 6, following the National Curriculum for England as a framework, adapted into a conceptual, integrated learning experience enriched with specialist teaching in Arabic, French, Spanish, ICT, PE, swimming, and music. The school places strong emphasis on learning behaviours such as collaboration, critical thinking, emotional intelligence, and leadership, taught by a faculty of 86 teachers and 49 teaching assistants.
Facilities include state-of-the-art technology throughout classrooms, an astro football pitch, two hard courts, a 50-metre running track, a 25-metre swimming pool, a sports hall, and two performing arts auditoriums. The school has often been up to ten times oversubscribed and has no further capacity for expansion, reflecting sustained demand among Dubai families for its combination of academic rigour and pastoral care.
