Once the necessary documents and payment of the application fee have been received, your child will be placed on a waiting pool. In due course, your child will be invited to participate in a playgroup assessment.

All students applying to Dubai British School Jumeirah Park Foundation will go through an assessment process to ensure that we can adequately meet their needs and know a little about them prior to their arrival. We would also like to take some time to get to know you as parents so that we can understand your aspirations and answer any individual questions.

We will contact you with a date for your child’s playgroup assessment administered by the Dubai British School Jumeirah Park Foundation faculty.

It is important to note that attendance at the assessment does not guarantee an offer of admission.

Upon completion of group assessments, offer letters will be sent out. If your child is offered a place, you will be required to pay the registration fee that is credited against Term 1 fees.
