Safa British School

Uniforms are purple and white. Foundation Stage and Primary uniforms consist of a purple-and-white striped dress or skirt for girls and a purple-and-white striped shirt for boys, with a navy jumper; older pupils wear plain white shirts with a purple inner collar (and logo) and navy trousers, with a navy jumper as needed. The uniform is supplied by Stitches (Al Quoz, UAE) and the sports kit by Surridge Sport (JLT Cluster X).

The school promotes a healthy balanced diet and has a nut-free policy. FS1–Year 4 can bring packed lunches or have lunch provided by the canteen delivered as a packed snack and lunch; Year 5 onwards can choose packed lunch or use the online top-up catering service. The canteen operates cashless and meals are prepared on-site with options including hot and vegetarian dishes; menus are updated online and allergies highlighted.

There are four houses: Air (Yellow), Water (Blue), Earth (Green), and Fire (Red). The house system supports community, enterprise, sustainability and sports, with house events, a House Cup and student House Captains leading activities. Points are tracked via ClassPoint for wellbeing elements and ClassCharts for learning gears, with rewards across year groups.

The Safa British School is governed by a Board of Directors that advises the principal and oversees policy and finances. The board comprises nine members, including a parent representative and the principal, with Proprietors Louay Khatib and Sameer Merchant, the latter listed as owner. The Safa group also includes Safa Community School and The Bridge Learning Center.
