          Well at least it gives the best value for money. I’ve been to many schools which charged double the fees and weren’t half as good. I can’t imagine how good quality learning could happen with such a severe number of turnovers though.

          the pupils are more civilized because I think because of its Jebal Ali location compared to my previous school. Bullies are present. Indian chemistry head would often be afraid of sharing her document resources with students because of fear that students will feed to other students. -hot girls-

          Yeah, not a good school. From a perspective of a student who spent 8 years in Winchester (from Year 1 to Year 8 or from 2009-2017), I do not recommend going to this school, especially if you're thinking about enrolling your child in for high school. The teachers here are just lazy, there's no other ...more
