RGSGD opened its doors in 2021, in a sustainability award-winning, state-of-the-art campus in Tilal Al Ghaf, Dubai. The exceptional head, Clare Turnbull aims to follow the ethos of its mother school, whose 500 years plus of academic excellence places it among the UK’s top schools. To date, the Dubai school accepts students up to Year 8, but year on year the school is expanding, with the campus designed to accept students from 3-18 ultimately. The school’s stated aims are to “lead by example, stay true to our values, innovate, collaborate and strive to be the very best we can be.” And this ethos is proving attractive to families moving to Dubai with waiting lists already a feature here.
