Our Commitment

Every member of our community shares responsibility for safeguarding. All staff receive regular training and understand their role in protecting children, promoting wellbeing and responding promptly to any concerns.

We believe that strong relationships are the foundation of effective safeguarding. By ensuring every child is known, listened to and valued, we create a culture where children feel confident to speak up, seek support and thrive.

Our safeguarding practices are fully aligned with KHDA requirements, UAE Federal Law No. (3) of 2016, Dubai Child Protection Law and international safeguarding best practice.

A Culture of Care

We work in close partnership with families and, where appropriate, external agencies to ensure that concerns are addressed quickly, sensitively and professionally. Together, we create an environment where children feel supported, enabling them to focus on their learning, wellbeing and personal growth.

If you have any concerns about the safety or wellbeing of a child, please contact a member of our safeguarding team immediately.

Together, we are building a school where every child is known, heard and protected, a place where they can truly Learn with Purpose, Live with Compassion and Lead with Courage.

Principal’s Full Message

At Ash Mount, we deliver a curriculum grounded in an international framework, enriched by the local and global context of the UAE, and aligned with national priorities, including UAE Vision 2071. This education balances rigour with joy, inquiry with structure, and academic success with wellbeing and student voice. Every child will be challenged, supported, and celebrated, developing as inquirers, leaders, and change-makers. I have had the privilege of opening and leading schools both across the region and internationally. Each of those experiences has deepened my belief in the power of partnership: between students, staff, families, and the wider community. At Ash Mount, we are creating a culture where people are valued, voices are heard, and ideas flourish. Our open-door philosophy reflects our commitment to being a school where relationships come first.

Ash Mount School is proudly part of the Interstar family of schools — a group recognised for excellence, innovation, and a strong commitment to the communities they serve. Ash Mount builds on that legacy while creating something distinctly its own: a school with heart, ambition, and a bold sense of purpose.

Thank you for considering Ash Mount School. We look forward to welcoming you and your family as we shape something extraordinary together.
