Overall effectiveness remains good, unchanged from the previous review. Kindergarten provision and outcomes are very good, while progress across most subjects is good but less consistent in Primary. Arabic and social studies achievement remain acceptable, and self-evaluation slightly overestimates students' true attainment levels.
