Smile Repton Dubai Yay or Nay?

Hi Guys,

This might have already been discussed but can't seem to find any recent information.

Just had an interview with Repton Dubai for a junior class teaching position.

Just wondered if anyone could give me the low down about the school.

-accommodation (standard, size, location, bills)
-work life balance
-class sizes (resources, planning expectations)
-salary
-other benefits

School looks really elaborate just wondered if it really was. If I get a job I will be moving with my little one and really need to make an informed decision.

Please give me any info as you can...
Thanks

Carlton Palmer as in the ex-Sheffield Wednesday (and incredibly England) midfielder is/was a sports teacher there.

yes him of the 'Carlton Palmer....smokes Marijuana' chant

They usually are very strong in the local school sports comps.

Thanks Flares,

Looks like any comments on Repton are few and far between.

They seem to keep this very quiet.

Repton have just opened a jr school in Abu Dhabi on Reem Island too.

Decent independent UK school doing the international franchise thang.

Similar I guess to Brighton College (AUH), Dulwich College (Far East), Marlborough College (Far East)

Can't help with specifics. Sorry.

Wasn't Steve Thompson also teaching sport there?
