This school performance review of Pace International School (SPEA, January 2026) found uneven achievement across subjects, ranging from acceptable in Arabic to very good in mathematics and science. Internal assessment data frequently overstated attainment and progress compared with lessons and students' work, and higher-attaining, gifted, and EAL students were often insufficiently challenged.
