Spear’s Review

Known by some as the ‘Hogwarts of the Middle East’ with its towering turrets and bricked archways, Repton School Dubai is one of the region’s leading schools, attracting children of UHNWs, celebrities, prominent figures and Middle Eastern royalty.

While academically intensive, 100 per cent of pupils at Repton Dubai pass the IB programme, and in 2023, 27 per cent of the graduating class achieved 40 points or more.
