Illustration · Fujairah
St. Mary's Catholic High School opened in Fujairah in 2002 and is built as two curriculum streams under one roof: a British one with GCSE, IGCSE and International A Level examinations and an Indian one on the CBSE programme. A parent chooses the stream at admission, and each has its own section of the site, its own admissions service and its own registrar. The British stream starts with two kindergarten years: KG I covers English - poetry, reading, writing and storytelling - number work and general knowledge, KG II adds Arabic, and from year 1 the school moves onto the UK National Curriculum. The day starts at 7:35 and ends by age: 12:35 for KG I, 13:20 for KG II, 14:00 for grades 1 and 2 and later for grades 3 and 4. The school week runs Monday to Thursday. Of its premises the school describes classrooms, a laboratory, a library and a play area on separate pages.

PearsonPearson Edexcel, a British exam board
It gives a school approved centre status: that means Pearson exams can be sat in the school itself. What is checked is the premises, the equipment, the secure storage of papers and the presence of trained invigilators.
What the badge means for this school. The school can run Pearson exams on its own premises. The status says nothing about teaching, about results or about the school itself: any school able to run an exam securely holds it. The entry stands in the organisation's public register - anyone can check it. At this school: IGCSE (ages 14-16), A-Level (ages 16-18). IGCSE means exams at around Year 10 or 11, the British counterpart of a lower secondary leaving certificate. A-Level is the senior years, and their results are what British and many other universities admit on.

A low score here means the school does not write about this, not that the school does not have it: a school with good security and a sparse site will score low. A school can fill in its profile, and the score will be counted again.
The score is counted from 7 of the 9 criteria.Only those with checkable data count: programmes and accreditations from official registers, the fee from a published price list. Where it says "scored on the median", the school has no data and the middle of the list is put in its place, so that a gap gives no advantage. Admissions, teaching staff and reviews come in as their data arrives.
