Bloom Gardens School

Brighton College Abu Dhabi sits firmly in the premium tier of Abu Dhabi private school fees, with tuition ranging from AED 50,830 for Nursery (FS1) to AED 80,780 for Years 10-13 in the 2025/26 academic year. These are not the highest fees in Abu Dhabi's British school market, but they are at the upper end, and families should budget comprehensively: transport (AED 8,500 per year) and uniforms (AED 470 for Pre-Prep, AED 1,013 for Year 3 and above) are additional, and the school's structured payment terms split fees across three terms - Autumn (approximately 40%), Spring (approximately 30%) and Summer (approximately 30%). The school's own fee schedule is transparent and published clearly on the website, with no hidden registration fees disclosed in the available data. Payment is accepted by cheque (drawn in favour of Brighton College Abu Dhabi), bank transfer to First Abu Dhabi Bank (IBAN: AE150357771002006857043), or via online payment link requested through the finance team. The three-term payment structure aligns with the school calendar and provides reasonable flexibility for families managing large annual commitments. Value for money is a nuanced question at this price point. For academically motivated families whose children will access the full breadth of the school's offering - competitive sport, performing arts, enrichment programmes, Sixth Form A-Level preparation and university guidance - the case for value is compelling. The 2025 A-Level results (44% A*-A), Outstanding inclusion provision, BSO Outstanding accreditation and Spear's Top 10 Middle East recognition all support the premium. For families with children who may not engage deeply with the co-curricular programme, or who prioritise Arabic-medium excellence, the value proposition is less clear-cut. Compared to peer British schools in Abu Dhabi, Brighton College sits at a similar price point to other premium operators, with fees that reflect the institutional depth and global brand of the Brighton College network. No specific scholarship or bursary information was published on the school's website at the time of this review; families seeking financial support should contact the admissions team directly.
