Admissions Process

Take the first step towards enrolling your child at RGSGD

We know that choosing the right school is a huge decision for a parent. We view education as a three-way partnership between parent, school and child, and work with the parents to help them decide whether the Royal Grammar School Guildford, Dubai (RGSGD) is the right place for their child. Where possible, we prefer to meet with the parents and child to provide all the information needed and answer any questions.

We are currently running waitlists across a number of year groups for the academic year 2024/2025 with a limited number of spaces available in Years 6 and 7.

Applications are open for 2025/26 and 2026/27

Make an Enquiry

The admissions process is a simple journey from initial enquiry to first day at school:

  • Make an enquiry and have a discussion with our friendly Admissions Team.

  • Visit us to get a feel for our school and meet our exceptional School Leadership Team.

  • Apply for a place by completing the online application form.

  • We will arrange for an assessment. The assessment will help staff ensure they understand the individual learning needs of each pupil.

  • We look forward to welcoming our new pupils into the RGSGD family.

Admissions age ranges

We welcome children from age three, once they are toilet trained. We follow the same model as the English education system and take account of the child’s age on 1 September to guide their academic year group.

RGSGD follows the KHDA regulations. Please refer to the chart to find out which year group your child will be placed in.
