  • Headteacher of the primary school at The English College is William Johnston / Bill Johnston (started September 2010, previously headteacher at Stanwix School, a primary school in Carlisle, Wales), and headteacher of secondary school is Allan Forbes according to teaching jobs advertisement in the Gulf News (date unknown but might have been 01 February 2011?).
  • Teaching job application closing date 19 February 2011, email prisec@englishcollege.ac.ae for primary vacancies (FS, KS1, KS@, French, Music teachers), email headsec@englishcollege.ac.ae for secondary positions (Arabic, English heads of department; Art and Design, Chemistry, Economics and Business Studies, English, History, Maths, Physics, Science teachers; possibly a Sociology teacher; librarian).
11 October 2010
  • The English College (TEC) fee structure updated for 2010-2011, appears to be unchanged from 2009-2010, but confirmation not supplied.
  • New primary school headteacher is (not supplied)? Mrs Fiona Davies has left and is now Headmistress at Kingscote School, Gerrards Cross, UK, although TEC website still lists Fiona Davies as "Head of Primary." Unless the new primary head just happens to have the same name as the previous primary head.
30 September 2009
  • Email received from The English College (TEC?) to clarify that school is co-ed at senior levels, not segregated.
  • Contact email updated (was headsec@englishcollege.ac.ae, might still be valid).
  • Tuition fees for 2007-2008 and 2008-2009 estimated based on KHDA information that The English College was eligible for 16% fees increase in the secondary school (Grades 7-12) for 2008-2009.
  • April 2009 KHDA Inspection Report (date of inspection October 2008) says Principals (Headteachers) are Allan Forbes and Fiona Davies.
  • Alan Forbes has been headteacher since September 2005.
18 September 2006
  • Many would regard The English College as one of the better schools in Dubai for a western / UK education.
  • TEC doesn't quite have the reputation of the American School in Dubai or Dubai College, but then it's not as snobby either.
  • Might be segregated in the secondary school?
  • Alternative email info@englishcollege.ac.ae.
  • Majority of students and staff at The English College are British.
  • Incorrect tel and fax nos seen are tel +971-4-3446465 (is for an IT shop?), fax +971-4-3446342 (for Emirates English Speaking School?).
  • English College Primary School established in September 2004 by Fiona Davies as Founding Head Teacher?
