Percentile position
Sector is every other school in the extract that has the figure. The peer group is the same curriculum, the same fee band, and the same district, and it excludes this school. A peer percentile appears only when at least one peer has the figure.
| Measure | Value | Sector percentile | Peer percentile |
|---|---|---|---|
Snapshot judgement Percentile of the judgement rank. A higher percentile is a higher judgement in this extract, not a prize. | 2 | 14.3 · n=206 | 25 · n=2 |
Recorded tuition A higher percentile is a higher fee, not a better school. | AED 22,951 | 54 · n=225 | 25 · n=2 |
Students per teaching-staff member Derived value. Derived. A higher percentile means more students per teacher. | 11.4 | 14 · n=196 | 25 · n=2 |
Students of determination Derived value. Derived share of the roll. A higher percentile is a larger share. | 1.9% | 51.8 · n=223 | 25 · n=2 |
Capacity utilisation Derived value. Derived. Students divided by recorded capacity. A higher percentile is a fuller school against that figure. | 57.5% | 21.6 · n=225 | 25 · n=2 |
National student share Derived value. Derived from the national boy and girl fields. The extract does not name them Emirati. | 4.6% | 44.6 · n=223 | 25 · n=2 |

The extract stores one overall judgement, not a score on each standard. The distance shown here is one step on that ladder.
Improvement pathway
This is the playbook sequence for the next overall step. It is not a scored reading of this school. Standard-level scores appear only after a self-assessment.
Planning estimate: about one school year of the same review, repeated, rather than a new initiative each month. This is Nahjly's planning window, not an ADEK published duration.
5 · The protection, care, guidance and support of students · 5.1
Close training and site gaps
List staff without current training and the site checks that slipped. Finish both within a month. Walk the arrival, break, and dismissal with the lead and write down what changed.
Department toolkit1 · Students' achievement · 1.1
Make the basic standard non-negotiable
Agree the minimum work students must produce each term in the three core areas, moderate a sample across classes, and reteach where the sample misses the standard. Review the same classes six weeks later rather than moving on.
Department toolkit1 · Students' achievement · 1.2
Review progress for the groups that stall
Each half term, look only at students who made little gain. Agree a six-week response in class, not only an after-school club, and record whether the work got harder or merely longer.
Department toolkit6 · Leadership and management · 6.1
Give middle leaders one decision
Name the decision each head of subject or phase will take this term about teaching, and the evidence they will bring back. Meet them on that evidence, not on a general update.
