Gems Education will merge two of its schools in Dubai in September, creating one large campus for pupils.
The country’s largest private-school operator will move pupils from Wellington Primary, in Al Bada’a, near Jumeirah 1, to Wellington Academy Al Khail. The primary school will close this summer.
The move will create one of the largest British-curriculum schools in Dubai by intake, with a capacity of almost 2,500 pupils.
Wellington Academy, which is rated “very good” by inspectors, already teaches children aged four to 11.
The academy has high fees, charging Dh54,000 per year from Year 6 and Dh86,000 in Years 12 and 13.
