Safa British School

  • When we were looking at schools from the UK before we moved, Safa British stood out amongst all the others, we were immediately made to feel welcome and everyone we spoke to was so helpful and friendly. We are a very sporty, outdoorsy family so the outdoor space, sports curriculum and facilities were very important to us and we have been very impressed with these. Harper and Callum settled very quickly at Safa British and have enjoyed meeting new friends and trying new things. Callum has thrived as a Sports leader and it has given him so much confidence. The staff have been great, always available to chat through any concerns and worries. The trips, sports days, special days and festivities that have been planned this year have been so much fun. We are thrilled to be part of the Safa British School Family and very happy we made the move to Dubai.
