Al Amana Private SchoolPrincipal & Leadership TeamLast Updated: April 7, 2026

Al Amana Private School is led by Principal Roshan Ahsan, operating under the governance of a Board of Governors chaired by Abdul Azeez, who also serves as the school's Chairman. Principal background and tenure details are not available in published sources [MISSING: principal tenure start date and prior experience], though the school itself has been established in Sharjah since 2004, giving it over two decades of operational continuity in Al Ramla West. The school is independently owned and operated, with no affiliation to a larger education group.

The most recent Sharjah Private Education Authority (SPEA) School Performance Review, conducted in February 2024, rated Al Amana's overall effectiveness as Acceptable — a rating the school has held across three consecutive review cycles: 2022–23, 2023–24, and 2024–25. This consistency signals neither improvement nor decline, but it does place the school in the lower tier of British curriculum schools in Sharjah, where 18 of 105 British curriculum schools hold Outstanding ratings and a further 24 are rated Very Good. Leadership and management were identified by inspectors as a key strength, with the report noting that senior leaders and the governing board provide a positive learning experience for all children and students. However, inspectors also flagged that leaders' self-evaluation of some aspects of school performance is over-generous, and that the rigour and consistency of self-evaluation processes requires improvement.

The school employs 68 teachers supported by 3 teaching assistants, serving 957 students, yielding a student-to-teacher ratio of 1:14 — slightly above the Sharjah-wide average of 1:13.6 across all private schools. The main nationality of teachers is Indian, and inspectors noted that most teachers demonstrate secure subject knowledge, though understanding of how children learn best varies considerably across Phases 1 and 2. Staff qualification data is not published [MISSING: percentage of teachers holding degree or postgraduate qualifications]. A notable concern is the school's teacher turnover rate of 30%, which is a significant figure and may affect continuity of learning, particularly in the lower phases where teaching quality has been identified as an area requiring improvement.

Parent engagement is a recognised strength. Inspectors specifically cited the school's effective collaborative working with parents as a key area of strength, and the school maintains a parent council and encourages in-person visits. The school's student leadership culture is also actively developed through a long-standing Student Council, Scout Team, and class monitor system spanning Primary and Middle school. These structures reflect a leadership vision centred on student agency and character development, articulated by Chairman Abdul Azeez in the school's published communications. No formal awards or external accreditations beyond Cambridge Assessment International Education (CAIE) accreditation are recorded in available sources [MISSING: any SPEA awards or external recognition].
