Before starting your application, please check our Admissions Availability to understand if the year group you are applying for is open.
Applications must be submitted via the Online Admissions Portal (Dubai British School Jumeirah Park) and must include all required documentation.
Step 2 – Pay the Application Fee
In order for your application to be processed and an assessment booked, you are required to submit the one-time application fee payment of AED 525. This fee is non-refundable and non-transferable.
You can make the payment for this fee via bank transfer. Our bank details can be found below;
Please contact our Operations Officer at Dubai British School Jumeirah Park, +971 (0)4 552 0247, ext 602 for account details to make bank transfers.
Step 3 – Book an Assessment with the Admissions Team
Once the application fee has been received, the Admissions Team will be in touch with you regarding booking an assessment for your child.
- FS1 & FS2 – Stay and Play Assessment
- Year 1 & Year 2 – 1-1 Assessment
- Year 3 – Year 12 – CAT4 Assessment and a Written English Assessment
Students may be required to sit an additional assessment if the Academic Team feel that they may benefit from additional learning support.
Overseas Assessments – If you are applying from overseas, our Admissions Team will be in touch with you to discuss the next steps in the process.
For all applicants, we will contact your child’s current school for a reference.
Step 4 – Once your assessment is complete, the Academic Team will review your child’s application, and if we can offer a place, you will receive an offer letter and an invoice to pay the registration fee.
If an offer of a place is made, parents have 5 working days to return acceptance paperwork and pay a non-refundable registration fee which will be deducted from the joining term’s fees.
If the school is operating a waitlist in the year group that you are applying to, your child will be added to the waiting pool and you will be notified once a place becomes available. Regretfully, we can’t guarantee placements for all children on the waitlist.
Register with KHDA
Once you have been notified of your child’s placement decision and the registration and relevant term fees have been paid, a contract is deemed to exist between the school and the parents/guardians, provided that the school regulations are observed. The school reserves the right to place your child in a class deemed to be the most appropriate, within the bounds of the KHDA guidelines.
As a requirement by the United Arab Emirates’ Ministry of Education and for us to be able to register your child legally with the KHDA (Knowledge and Human Development Authority), it is mandatory that we receive a Transfer Certificate (TC) from your child’s current school. Registration at any school in Dubai without a TC is not possible.
