Our seven-form entry school currently caters for 1950 children from FS1 to Y13. We opened a state-of-the-art Primary block for Y3 to Y6 in September 2020. We continue to grow at a rate of around 200 students per year and expect to reach capacity of 2400 in 3 years time.
As a BSO school (EduBase No.143834), we are able to offer a UK recognised induction to candidates with QTS using the Early Career Framework, in association with ESP Education.
The school aspires to create a global community of critical thinkers, creators, innovators and leaders who will have a positive impact on the world of tomorrow. We pride ourselves on being a happy and vibrant school community where students, parents and teachers enjoy coming to school. All stakeholders embrace our motto ‘Striving to be the Best’ which is embedded in everything we do. Our well-behaved students and supportive parents originate from 54 countries and speak 28 languages which makes us a truly international community. The campus is well resourced and boasts excellent facilities.
We follow the 2014 National Curriculum of England and in EYFS the updated 2020 Development Matters Framework. We use both GL CAT4 and GL Progress tests for Year 4 to 10. In addition we offer a range of GCSE, iGCSE, iAS and iA Levels from Cambridge, Edexcel and Pearson exam boards to our older students. We have begun to introduce a range of BTEC qualifications to better personalise pathways.
The school initially gained BSO (British Schools Overseas) accreditation in May 2016 in its second year of operation and continues to improve, achieving good with an increased number of outstanding features in May 2022. Since January 2017 the school has consistently achieved Band A gradings in the ADEK Irtiq'aa inspections. Most recently, in February 2022, the school consolidated its Very Good ADEK grading with a significant number of features graded outstanding.
Al Basma is located in a quiet and safe neighbourhood in Abu Dhabi called Al Bahia near to the international airport and Yas Island. Dubai is a 35 minute drive from the school.
