Yes the company have agreed to Foremake's fees. It's the only smaller scale school I've found that has places. But I could put the children on the waiting list of somewhere like JESS. JHM makes a valid point, that those older schools have a long standing reputation. Whereas the newer schools have to build their reputation which obviously takes time. But I'm guessing the newer schools aren't necessarily any worse, they just aren't as established. Perhaps, in a few years time, they will be even better than the likes of JESS etc. I'm eagerly awaiting the latest inspection results of Foremarke. I don't know yet whether my children would suit an academic school or not, so I'm just looking for a well rounded education and a nurturing environment with nice people. I would however like to find a school that will give a similar experience to that of an independent British prep school. <em>edited by torialh on 06/05/2015</em>

Thanks so much for all your comments. It is interesting to hear about the various schools' reputations. It was mentioned that Foremarke is exclusive. Please can you elaborate on that, or does anyone else have any views on Foremarke? It has places available so it is one of the schools we are seriously considering. (N.B. My husband's company are paying the fees). <em>edited by torialh on 06/05/2015</em>

Their fees are a lot lower than schools such as Foremarke. Do you think you get what you pay for and that once Foremarke is more established it will compete with the older schools? Or perhaps I should be looking at the older more established schools. Any other recommendations from anyone else please?

Thanks so much for your email. Do you, or anyone else, have any comments about the sheer scale of the schools in Dubai? They are all so huge compared to the schools in the UK. Also, can anyone recommend any other schools which operate to the same standards as a British prep school in Dubai, other than Foremarke?

Hi Mollydxb I'd love to hear your thoughts. I'll be moving my daughter from a very small prep school (100 students) in the UK. I'm a little concerned about how huge the schools are in Dubai. But I guess I have no other option. If I were to look at other schools as well as Foremarke, do you have any suggestions of competitors worth seeing for comparison? <em>edited by torialh on 05/05/2015</em>

Hi Mollydxb Please could you also share with me your thoughts on Foremarke. We're looking for a school for our 3 year old for September 2015. I'm not sure how to send you a private message with my email address... please let me know if you get this message. Many thanks
