Repton Dubai

What Repton Dubai does

Repton Dubai (legal name: Repton School Dubai) is a private British international school located in Nad Al Sheba, Dubai, UAE, founded in 2007 as the first UK independent school in the Middle East and now part of the global Cognita family of schools. The school serves approximately 1,500–2,200 students aged 3 to 18 across Early Years, Primary, Secondary, and Sixth Form phases, drawing from over 80 nationalities, and operates both day-student and boarding programmes (full and weekly boarding at a 10:1 staff ratio).

The academic offering is built on a British curriculum platform delivering IGCSEs, A-Levels, BTEC vocational qualifications, and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) plus IB Careers Programme, supported by an Inclusion/SEND department and enrichment pathways (Cognita Enrich ME, Duke of Edinburgh Award, scholarships, sport, music, and performing arts). The school is differentiated by sustained academic outcomes — including a 2025/2026 IB Diploma average of 35 points, 62% A*/A at A-Level, 41% grade 9-8 at GCSE — and by a recent September 2025 campus transformation that added a 600-seat Performing Arts Centre, a Sports Village with rugby/football pitches and athletics tracks, and a redesigned Early Years Centre.

Repton Dubai generates revenue primarily through annual tuition fees (subscription recurring model) under both day and boarding fee structures, with pricing not publicly disclosed; admissions are conducted via direct on-campus enquiry, tours, open days, and a formal application process. The school has held a KHDA Outstanding rating for 10 consecutive years since 2014 and ranks among the top 5 IB schools in the UAE per Spear's School Index 2024, with alumni progressing to Oxford, Cambridge, Ivy League, and other leading global universities.
