BSO Outstanding, and KHDA Outstanding, Deira International School is celebrating beyond-outstanding GCSE results in what many see as the toughest year for students since records began as they are impacted in a devastatingly harsh return to the baseline pre-Pandemic grades of 2019. Reporting from a school celebrating two-years of exceptional achievement from its GCSE Class of 2023, the school credits its “incredible” teachers and “unwaveringly supportive” parents for making a difficult two years shine through when it matters most.

Simon O’Connor, Director of Deira International School, told SchoolsCompared.com:
“These are spectacular results of which I know our whole community will be incredibly proud.
“In a year when it has been expected for results to dip, Deira International School has bucked the trend achieving record results yet again.
“With 56% of all grades at A*/A, and 2/3 of the cohort achieving 3 or more A*/As, the school has demonstrated that top grades are achievable by all.
“These results reflect continuous hard work by our incredible staff and students, alongside the unwavering support of parents. I am so grateful for all their efforts, and the results can be seen today.
“I want to congratulate our Year 11 cohort and look forward to their continued success as they embark on their IB studies in the new term.”
Douglas Pettitt, Secondary Head Teacher, Deira International School
Douglas Pettitt, Secondary School Head Teacher, Deira International School, continued:
I am thrilled to extend my heartfelt congratulations to our remarkable year 11 Class of 2023 on their outstanding GCSE results!
This year’s cohort has truly excelled, with well over 50% of our students achieving a Grade 7 (A) across all subjects.
I am also delighted that the vast majority of our students will return to us next week start their IB qualifications and the next chapter of their journey here at DIS.”
Remarkable Deira International School Students
Speaking with SchoolsCompared.com, students were thrilled with their results this year:
“I feel amazing!
“I wasn’t expecting to get the A in additional maths, and the 9s and A*s have opened so many doors for me! I am so thankful to all my teachers for their efforts!”
A second Deira International School student continued:
“I am over the moon! The hard work paid off. It was a tough exam period, and I am now through to IB so I can continue my DIS journey.”
