Grammar School occupies a dual-building campus in Al Garhoud, one of Dubai's more established school corridors, with nine private schools located in the area. The school's two buildings are functionally divided — one dedicated to Foundation Stage, the other housing Primary and Secondary — a practical arrangement for a school serving students from age 4 to 18. No campus size in square metres or acres is publicly disclosed, which limits direct comparison, though the site is clearly designed for urban efficiency rather than expansive grounds.

Academic facilities are functional and appropriate for the fee level. Classrooms across the school are equipped with interactive LED screens and whiteboards, with internet connectivity in every room — a baseline expectation that Grammar School meets. There are two dedicated ICT labs with multimedia facilities, science laboratories in both the Primary and Secondary buildings, and a STEAM room supporting robotics and 3D printing. A library stocked for multiple age groups and a sustainability garden and greenhouse — from which students grow and sell produce — round out the academic resource offering. These are modest but purposeful facilities, and the STEAM room and greenhouse in particular reflect a genuine commitment to hands-on learning within the school's means.

Sports and recreation provision is limited. The school offers indoor and outdoor PE areas and two shaded outdoor play zones with equipment, used for both curriculum PE and extracurricular activities. There is no swimming pool, no dedicated gymnasium, and no sports hall disclosed. For a school serving 1,321 students across 14 year groups, the absence of more substantial sports infrastructure is notable, though it is broadly consistent with what families should expect at fees ranging from AED 5,120 to AED 7,040 — among the lowest charged by any British curriculum school in Dubai, where the median annual fee stands at AED 49,630.

The Foundation Stage environment includes age-appropriate features such as sand play, a cycle track, and a dedicated reading area, and Arabic corners are embedded in FS classrooms. Medical care is handled by one well-equipped infirmary staffed by one doctor and two nurses, operating in conjunction with the Government of Dubai's Department of Health and Medical Services — a solid provision for a school at this price point. The cafeteria provides fresh, nutritious meals, and a school store supplies textbooks, workbooks, and stationery on-site.

The DSIB rated Management, Staffing, Facilities and Resources as Acceptable in the 2023–24 inspection — consistent with the school's overall rating and reflective of a campus that functions adequately without distinction. At fees of AED 5,120–7,040, parents should calibrate expectations accordingly: Grammar School offers a workable, inclusive learning environment with some commendable touches — the STEAM room, the greenhouse, the wellbeing-led campus culture — but it does not offer the sports complexes, performing arts theatres, or expansive grounds that characterise British curriculum schools charging two to ten times more. No recent capital investments or facility expansions have been disclosed. For families prioritising affordability and inclusivity over premium infrastructure, the campus is fit for purpose.
