Al Sabah Indian Pvt. School remains acceptable overall, unchanged from the previous review. Achievement in English, mathematics and science is good in Phase 4 but only acceptable elsewhere. Leaders are committed and relationships with parents are positive, but self-evaluation is over-generous and teaching, assessment use and access to learning technologies need improvement.
