Dubai British School Mira

In Brief

Dubai British School Mira is the newest addition to Taaleem's successful DBS network, opening in September 2025 with strong leadership drawn from other DBS schools. While the school benefits from the Outstanding track record of its sister schools and focuses heavily on inclusion support, it remains very early days with no established results or community feedback.

Located in Mira Oasis serving the growing communities along Al Qudra Road, DBS Mira follows the British National Curriculum from FS1 to Year 6, with plans to expand to Year 13 in future phases. Under founding principal Amy Falhi, who progressed through the ranks at DBS Jumeirah Park, the school emphasizes inclusion through KHDA's Graduated Response model, supporting Students of Determination, EAL learners, and gifted students. The leadership team includes George Stokes as Head of Primary, bringing over a decade of UAE experience including his founding role at The Arbor School, and John Paton as Director of Inclusion with 15 years of education experience.

The school operates with fees ranging from AED 51,477 to AED 77,217, positioning it in the mid-range of Dubai's British curriculum schools. Parent discussions reveal mixed opinions about joining such a new school, with some residents noting the building appeared half-finished during opening and expressing the common wisdom of waiting two years before enrolling in any new institution. However, early parent feedback from those who enrolled describes satisfaction with staff and amenities, though acknowledging some ongoing construction-related limitations. The school's location offers convenience for families in Mira, Reem, and surrounding areas who want to avoid long commutes to established schools in other parts of Dubai.
