Woodlem British School works in Al Hamidiya 1 in Ajman and runs the British curriculum on a Cambridge basis: the sections of its site are EYFS, primary school, lower secondary and upper secondary, plus the UAE Ministry of Education curriculum. The campus is described in more detail than the curriculum: spacious classrooms with smartboards, projectors and flexible seating; STEM laboratories with equipment for robotics, coding and engineering projects; a dedicated robotics and technology hub; a multi-purpose gymnasium, football fields and basketball courts; a library and resource centre with books, digital resources and quiet study areas, hosting reading programmes and workshops; art studios for painting, sculpture and digital art and a music studio for individual practice and group sessions. Standing apart is the wellness and counselling centre with qualified counsellors - the school says plainly that this is a safe space where a student can come with personal difficulties. Security is described concretely: 24/7 surveillance, secure entry points, on-site security personnel and health and safety protocols. What a parent needs to know: the website is unfinished. There are no fees on it at all, the stage pages are empty, and the front page still carries filler text with a post dated 2017.

CambridgeCambridge International Education
Part of the University of Cambridge. It allows a school to teach the Cambridge programmes and to enter pupils for the exams. There are four stages and they are authorised separately: primary, lower secondary, IGCSE and A Level. If the stages are known they are named in the line below; if that line is missing, the school does not publish them, and the Cambridge registry does not show stages either - it gives only the name of the centre, the country and whether private candidates are accepted. Cambridge calls what it does registration rather than accreditation, and the network holds about ten thousand schools.
What the badge means for this school. The school is allowed to run this programme and to award its certificate. This is a confirmation of the programme, not a judgement on the school as a whole. The entry stands in the organisation's public register - anyone can check it. Which stages - from the early years programme for three-year-olds up to A-Level - this school is approved for is not stated here.

Reviews
No reviews yet. The community rating counts towards the score once a school has five verified reviews - until then we do not show a zero, so as not to mislead.

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.
