Foremarke School Dubai has been rebranded as Repton Al Barsha.
The school will begin physical upgrades to its campus in 2021, with full re-branding set to be completed by the start of the next academic year.
The UK curriculum school, located in Al Barsha South, has announced it will be expanding to year nine in the next academic year.
It currently provides teaching for pupils up to and including year eight.
This would be followed by an organic year-on-year growth to provide the IGCSE curriculum up until Year 11 and A-levels for years 12 and 13.
Foremarke was already part of the Repton family of schools in the Emirates but will become the third school to take on the group title, joining Repton Dubai and Repton Abu Dhabi.
“While the school has always been part of the Repton Family of Schools, it is a proud moment for us to officially welcome another Repton-branded school in the UAE," said David Cook, chief education officer of the Repton Family of Schools and headmaster of Repton School Dubai.
"We want to show gratitude towards our parents and students for their continued support in this endeavour and want them to rest assured that Repton Al Barsha will continue to provide the same level of exceptional education to which they are accustomed."
The move was announced after Foremarke School Dubai's sister school in the UK, Foremarke Hall, changed its name to Repton Prep School this year.
The Repton group of schools in the UAE has sent pupils to prestigious seats of learning such as University of Cambridge, University of Oxford, Stanford University and University of California, Berkeley.
Ziina users can donate to relief efforts in Beirut
Ziina users will be able to use the app to help relief efforts in Beirut, which has been left reeling after an August blast caused an estimated $15 billion in damage and left thousands homeless. Ziina has partnered with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees to raise money for the Lebanese capital, co-founder Faisal Toukan says. “As of October 1, the UNHCR has the first certified badge on Ziina and is automatically part of user's top friends' list during this campaign. Users can now donate any amount to the Beirut relief with two clicks. The money raised will go towards rebuilding houses for the families that were impacted by the explosion.”

How to wear a kandura
Dos

- Always ask for the dress code if you don’t know
- Wear a white kandura, white ghutra / shemagh (headwear) and black shoes for work
- Wear 100 per cent cotton under the kandura as most fabrics are polyester
Don’ts
