Deira International School is an Outstanding BSO and KHDA rated, award-winning school located on a beautiful campus in Festival City, Dubai. In 2023 DIS was awarded the Education Excellence Award for School Team of the Year and is also a platinum award holder for Best Place to Work, demonstrating our commitment to continual focus on ensuring we have a happy and thriving community.

With students from ages 3-18, DIS is run as a not-for-profit school and is part of the Al Futtaim Education Foundation. Founded in 2005, the school is renowned for providing an outstanding inclusive and holistic education. In our recent inspection, the report recognised the following:

• Staff are overwhelmingly proud of the school and believe that it is well led and provides a safe and inclusive learning environment.
• The quality of teaching, learning and assessment across the school is outstanding.
• Teachers have high expectations of pupils and consistently challenge them in lessons and other activities to do their best.
• Staff enjoy working at the school and believe they are treated fairly, respected and valued.
• At every phase, the curriculum is planned with precision, is well sequenced and systematically builds on pupils' prior learning.
• DIS has a strong focus on academic progress and achievement.

The student body has over 90 different nationalities, and this diversity is fundamental to the community nature of the school. Exceptional facilities provide wonderful opportunities for a holistic approach to education; sport, performing arts, academic, technological, leadership, and creative pathways are all on offer, ensuring our students enjoy enriching and varied school experiences within our classrooms and beyond.

Although non-selective at admission, our students achieve exceptional exam results which compare to top UK schools. Digital literacy development is emphasised as the school prepares its pupils to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing world. This success enables our students to move on to the very top universities worldwide.

Our personalised, play-based and continuous provision in the Early Years ensures that students are rigorously assessed against the prime and specific areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage framework. This focuses on developing key learning skills and the foundations for accessing the Primary Curriculum. In primary, students receive an enriching and broad curriculum offer, which includes the delivery of several non-core subjects. Our senior students take the IGCSE examinations in Year 11 and move into the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) or International Baccalaureate Career-Related Programme (IBCP) in Years 12 and 13.

As an Outstanding School (KHDA 2023), it is a very exciting time to join the Primary Team at DIS. We are looking for candidates who are ready to embrace a new challenge and join a team who is relentlessly focused on continuous improvement. DIS is a high-performing and inclusive school, committed to the holistic development of each and every learner.

The Senior Leadership Team is committed to supporting all teachers to be happy, fulfilled, and thrive in their work as we believe that in return, our young learners will do similar.
