Repton Abu Dhabi, one of Abu Dhabi’s leading British curriculum schools on Al Reem Island, is proud to announce that it has been awarded an ‘Outstanding’ rating in the latest inspection by the Department of Education and Knowledge (ADEK).

The result reflects sustained excellence across teaching, learning, leadership, and student wellbeing, with inspectors noting Outstanding outcomes in English, mathematics, and science, alongside highly developed learning skills, strong collaboration, and effective use of digital tools.

The inspection report praised the school’s safe, inclusive environment, nurturing pastoral care, and highly effective leadership, which together create a culture where students thrive academically and personally. Strong partnerships with parents, supported by the ‘Friends of Repton’ parent association, further strengthen communication, cohesion, and community engagement across the school.

Mr. Stephen Davis, Interim Principal of Repton Abu Dhabi, said: “Achieving an Outstanding ADEK rating is a significant moment for our school and a source of great pride for our whole community. It shows our shared commitment to high standards, continuous improvement, and a truly holistic approach to education. Alongside our strong GCSE and A-Level results and international assessment performance, the report also recognises the shared Repton values that define our community.”

Students exceeded international benchmarks in global assessments, including PISA, TIMSS, and PIRLS, while also being recognised for their maturity, empathy, and active participation in leadership, innovation, community and environmental initiatives.

This Outstanding judgement comes alongside another year of impressive public examination results. In the 2024/25 A-Level cohort, 43% of all entries were awarded A*–A grades, with 72% achieving A*–B, and students securing offers from leading universities worldwide.
