DBS Jumeirah Park places wellbeing and social-emotional development at the centre of learning. The Welcome Message and the Inclusion page describe a personalised approach to teaching, learning and wellbeing, led by the Director of Inclusion, Colette Woolnough. The school uses a 'team around the child' model to support students, involving parents, external professionals, teachers and support staff to maximise progress and wellbeing. A team of school counsellors proactively supports students' social, emotional and mental health needs and provides a safe, confidential space to discuss difficulties. Inclusion activities such as Inclusion Coffee Mornings and EAL workshops for families reinforce a holistic approach to wellbeing. Dubai Inclusive Education Policy Framework is cited as a guiding reference in DBSJP's inclusion policies.

DBS Jumeirah Park provides for Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (Students of Determination), English as an Additional Language (EAL), and Gifted & Talented students. A graduated response model is used to remove barriers and ensure access to the same learning experiences as peers. The curriculum includes an inclusive approach with alternative pathways for learners with more complex needs through ASDAN modules and a range of GCSE options and Level 1/2 BTEC courses. The admissions process is differentiated to meet the needs of students with additional needs, including bespoke one-to-one assessments where needed. An Inclusion Team member is named as a point of contact for each student requiring support, with transition and planning processes to ensure needs are met.

English as an Additional Language (EAL) is provided within DBSJP's inclusion framework. The Inclusion page notes EAL as part of the school's offering and describes parent workshops designed to support families of EAL students. An Inclusion Team supports EAL learners and works with families to facilitate language development. The school's graduated response framework includes EAL needs as part of ensuring equal access to learning and enrichment opportunities.

Mental wellbeing is supported by a team of highly qualified school counsellors who proactively address social, emotional and mental health needs. Counsellors provide a safe, confidential environment to discuss difficult issues with staff and peers, anchored in empathy and respect. Wellbeing is integrated into daily school life through an inclusive ethos and targeted support for individuals and groups as part of the overall student experience.

Safeguarding and child protection are addressed through the school's documented policies, including a Child Protection & Safeguarding Policy listed under Whole School Policies. The safeguarding framework is supported by KHDA guidance and Dubai Inclusive Education Policy Framework, and a KHDA Parent School Contract is referenced in Inclusion materials. The PDF for the Child Protection & Safeguarding Policy is currently not accessible via the linked path (404), so the full policy text could not be retrieved here.

Step 1 – Submit application via the Online Admissions Portal. Before starting, check Admissions Availability to understand if the year group is open. FS1 and FS2 should contact the feeder school DBF.
Step 2 – Pay the application fee. The one-time fee is AED 525 and is non-refundable and non-transferable. Payment can be made by bank transfer; contact the operations team for account details.
Step 3 – Book an assessment with the Admissions Team. After payment, the team will arrange an assessment: FS1 & FS2 use a Stay and Play assessment, Year 1 & Year 2 use a 1-1 assessment, and Year 3 to Year 12 use a CAT4 assessment plus a written English assessment. Overseas assessments may be discussed.
Step 4 – Academic review and offer. Following the assessment, the Academic Team reviews the application; if a place is offered, you receive an offer letter and an invoice for the registration fee. Parents have 5 working days to accept and pay the non-refundable registration fee. If a year group is on a waitlist, the child is added to the waiting pool and a place is not guaranteed.
Step 5 – KHDA registration and Transfer Certificate. After acceptance and joining term fees, sign the KHDA Parent School Contract; it is mandatory to register with KHDA. A Transfer Certificate from the current/previous school is required to complete KHDA registration. KHDA transfer requirements vary by origin country.
Step 6 – Age eligibility and year placement. The school follows a 13-year British Curriculum system. FS1 to Year 2 placement is based on age as of 31 August of the admissions year; Year 3 to Year 12 placement follows the year after the year completed. An enrolment age calculator uses a 31 August cutoff.
Step 7 – Admissions availability and waiting lists. The availability guide shows which year groups are open or on a waitlist for 2025/2026 and 2026/2027. If a year is closed, other Taaleem sister campuses may be options. Waiting list definitions explain Open, Waiting list, and Closed statuses and how places are offered.

Waiting lists exist for some year groups. Open indicates applications on the waiting list are being considered for an available place, but not guaranteed. Waitlist indicates applications are accepted into the waiting list after assessment when no places are currently available. Closed means waiting lists are kept open until capacity is reached. Siblings and staff may have exceptions per year group policies.
