Overall, I think the school is welcoming and friendly. The students are kind, and the teachers have a strong, positive relationship with students, which makes learning enjoyable. Academically, the school provides a good standard of education and supports students in doing their best. However, the facilities are somewhat limited and could be improved to make the school even better.

JPGS is an outstanding school. It balances focus on education and success, as well as exploring extra-curricular activities (ECAs) perfectly. The environment is very welcoming, and the teachers all have the best interests of the students at heart. The students themselves, particularly the 6th formers and head team are very encouraging and guiding towards the younger students. On the whole, JPGS is a school of opportunity and is building a generation of clever and ambitious pupils.

Their achievements are recognised through awards, and success is consistently celebrated across the sch... read full review

We have lived out here for over 15 years, including time in the UAE, and finding a school that gets the balance right between strong academics, community, culture, and care is not easy. JPGS does that really well. My kids genuinely enjoy coming to school, and for any parent, that says more than any brochure ever could.
The teachers are outstanding. They know their subjects, they work hard, and most importantly, they genuinely care about the students. It never feels like kids are just numbers. Teachers know the pupils properly, not just academically but on a personal level too. They are approachable, supportive, and always willing to go the extra mile. Expectations are high, but fair, and my children are challenged without fee... read full review
