Abu Dhabi / Emirates Business

Bloom Education, a Bloom Holding subsidiary that delivers the highest standards of education in the UAE, announced that Brighton College
Al Ain now holds the highest ranking of school in the United Arab Emirates, following a recent four-day
inspection of the British-style premium school.
The College has been judged to be ‘Outstanding’ in every category by
an Abu Dhabi Education Council (ADEC) inspection team and, in doing so, has become the first school to ever achieve a ‘perfect score’ in the city of Al Ain.
The highly coveted rating also makes Brighton College Al Ain one of only three schools in the emirate
of Abu Dhabi to be judged ‘Outstanding’ across all required areas.
Admissions staff at the College are currently responding to a surge in applications for places following the publication of the report.
Henning Fries, CEO, Bloom Education, said: “Bloom Education has teamed up with best in class education partners and are very proud of Brighton College Al Ain for achieving an ‘Outstanding’ rating from Abu Dhabi Education Council (ADEC) after the Council concluded the Abu Dhabi school inspections programme — also known as the Irqita’a initiative.
The process consists of a list of criteria that evaluate quality of facilities, teaching standards, resources, development, support programmes as well as the academic progress of students and school leadership effectiveness.”
Fries added: “At Bloom Education, we are positive that Brighton College will continue to make significant strides in the UAE education system through expanding our network
of world-class schools across
the UAE, especially in Abu Dhabi
and Dubai.
“We are committed to maintaining this success to ensure a superlative quality of education for years
to come.”
The inspection report acknowledges the ‘exceptionally high quality of challenge and support’ that is provided to Brighton College Al Ain pupils, noting that ‘teaching is highly effective and significantly impacts on students’ rates of progress and attainment levels’.
The report also recognises the ‘extremely high quality of professional leadership’ and exceptional academic outcomes resulting from ‘comprehensive, systematic and rigorous self-evaluation processes, and extensive data analysis.
