At the heart of the expansion is the new Performing Arts Centre, featuring a 600-seat auditorium, professional music practice rooms, drama and dance studios, as well as dedicated rehearsal and recording spaces.

The Sports Village offers outdoor and indoor sports areas, including full-size rugby and football pitches, a junior field, running tracks, cricket nets, astro-turf pitches, and an enhanced swimming pool.

For the school’s youngest learners, the upgraded Early Years Centre displays carefully designed environments to spark curiosity and imagination, including the Wonder Library, Calm Zone, and Imaginarium.

Michael Bloy, Principal of Repton Dubai, said: “Our new facilities enrich daily life at Repton Dubai. They inspire creativity, performance, and athletic achievement, helping our students refine their skills and unlock their potential both within the curriculum and beyond.”

The development marks a significant chapter for Repton Dubai, which celebrates 18 years in the UAE and is part of the Cognita Middle East group, encompassing 14 schools across the region.

The school offers a broad academic pathway including GCSEs, A Levels, the IB Diploma, IB Career-related Programme, and BTEC qualifications.
