Brighton College Al Ain has been awarded the highest school ranking in the UAE following an inspection by the Abu Dhabi Education Council (Adec). The first in Al Ain to receive the 'Outstanding' ranking, Brighton College Al Ain now joins the only two other schools in the UAE to have achieved the top rating from the Adec: Al Bateen/Al Mushrif Private School and Al Muna Primary School.
Brighton College Al Ain, a British-curriculum school offering education to students from Kindergarten to A-Levels, opened in September 2014. It offers "world-class education" to its students, according to Henning Fries, CEO of Bloom Education. Bloom Education is a partner of Brighton College, and was instrumental in bringing the school to Abu Dhabi and Al Ain.
"At Bloom Education, we are positive that Brighton College will continue to make significant strides in the UAE education system through expanding our network of world-class schools across the UAE, especially in Abu Dhabi and Dubai," said Fries.
The 'Outstanding' ranking is awarded based on eight performance standards set by the Adec. The standards are: Students' attainment and progress; students' personal development; quality of teaching and learning; meeting of students' needs through the curriculum; protection, care, guidance and support of students; quality of the school's buildings and premises; school's resources to support its aims; and effectiveness of leadership and management.
After the "perfect score" ranking was announced by the Adec, Brighton College Al Ain's admissions staff has noticed a significant increase in applications for the upcoming academic year.
Jonathan McArthur, headmaster of Brighton College Al Ain, said: "We are delighted with the outcome. This was an intense and robust review process and we are pleased (with the result)."
Brighton College Al Ain, along with Brighton College Abu Dhabi, is the sister school of the award-winning Brighton College UK. Bloom Education is "committed to maintaining this success to ensure a superlative quality of education for years to come", said Fries.
