Hello everyone, long time no speak I know.

Well I have started my Job in JA on 1 sy Mar. Everything going well, just spent 2 weeks off shore! Have been looking for a villa and have found something just out of my price range instead of way out of my price range. One thing I would like to know of is a school for my 6 yr old daughter close to Mirdif. I have heard of the Shefield school but have no idea were it is or what.

Any advice or websites or telephone nos of schools would be appeciated.

Should be a good one for you Face,

Cheers everyone

Not sure about existing ones - check the FAQ pages for them.

There are a few new schools openeing in September this year and one of them will be in Mirdif, the Royal Dubai School. It's a GEMS school, same as JPS and some others, and follows the English curriculum. Here's a link for you:

Register NOW, as waiting lists here are hideous. Good luck.

Truth Speak

In a quest for a decent scool the missus visited there about a month ago. Classes are not yet full, its less than a year old, good facilities and the headmistress is very nice and from the UK. Its near the Emirates Driving institute and Sahara Centre

I've got the heads mobile . If u want it PM me .

Schools in Mirdiff.......

Well Garhoud is pretty close to Mirdiff and my ex-school, now known as The Cambridge International School, comes highly recommended.

The Principal is the best person to go and c. Ignore the snotty receptionist when u call.

Oh and i am glad u found somewhere just over budget. lololol. The school fees arent as high as some of the newer GEMS joints, but it is a good school. trust me on that.

Hi,

I can also highly recommend the Cambridge International School. Bus service collects the kids in the morning and then drops them off. School is fantastic as you can really see they have the pupils best interests at heart. My daughter is in Grade 3 and loves school!! I am not sure what is going to happen with the school fees we got a letter 3 weeks ago saying the fees are going up but no mention of how much. Also they have changed from Cambridge High School to Cambridge International and so have changed their school uniform, they are currently in maroon and cream but I have been told that as of the new year (Spet 05) the kids will be wearing navy and white?

Good Luck, your child will love the school and as far as I know there is space for next year...

My ex school....... was there all the way from year 1 to Year 13 for my A-levels...... Guess the name change is ok and it is well located for Mirdiff residents. the fees go up every 2-3 years, by a nominal amount.

I heard bout the uniform change as well...... part of a whole re branding image by GEMS. Navy and white will look smart as well..... the school will need to be repainted to match as well. LOL

I hated the khaki coloured trousers anyway. We used to even have maroon ties back in the day, but they ditched them 3 years ago, after I left. Damn! lol

See Benson..... it comes extremely highly recommended.
