Repton School Dubai

Repton Dubai was founded in 2007 on the model of Repton School in Derbyshire, which dates from 1557, and it keeps the Repton Arch entrance and a house system that runs through every year group. It is an all-through school with FS1 to Year 13 taught in Nad Al Sheba, part of the Cognita group, and it offers full and weekly boarding in the senior years. KHDA's 2023-24 report records 2,374 pupils, 174 teachers and 43 teaching assistants. The school's curriculum is British, with the IB Diploma available at sixth form. KHDA rated it Outstanding overall in each round listed from 2014-15 to 2023-24, with wellbeing and inclusion both Very Good. That is a strong record but a step below the schools above on wellbeing. SchoolsCompared.com gives a parent rating of 82 and praises the space and facilities, describing them as best in class, along with a broad multicultural student body and outstanding senior management. The published timetable for 2026-27 has Years 1 to 6 dropped off from 7.30am and collected at 3.00pm from Monday to Thursday, with after-school clubs and sports squads from 3.15pm to 4.15pm. FS1 pick-up is 1.30pm and FS2 is 2.30pm, and on Fridays every year group is collected at 11.30am. A Year 3 pupil is therefore on site for about seven and a half hours. Fees match KHDA's directory exactly. The school lists AED 57,178 for FS1, AED 63,025 for FS2, AED 64,631 for Years 1 and 2, AED 66,732 for Year 3, AED 67,266 for Year 4 and AED 75,953 for Years 5 and 6. In Years 5 and 6 that is about AED 21,000 to AED 22,600 a year more than Victory Heights or DESS. The case for Repton is a single campus from age three to eighteen and boarding later on, rather than the best primary-only wellbeing.
