Victoria English School branch Sharjah - Al Azra

VES publishes a transparent fee schedule on its admissions page, with fees structured across 15 year groups plus a Nursery level. The figures below reflect the Total After Applying Discounts column from the school's own fee table (which incorporates a Covid-19 related reduction), making these the effective fees families can expect to pay. All year groups carry a registration fee of AED 1,000. At the entry point, Nursery fees are AED 16,900 per year (after discount), rising to AED 23,700 for FS1 and FS2, and scaling up through primary and secondary to a maximum of AED 41,800 for Year 13. This positions VES as a mid-range British curriculum school in the Sharjah context - meaningfully below premium British schools in Dubai or Abu Dhabi, but competitive with peer Al Azra schools offering similar British pathways. Optional transport adds AED 4,500 (Sharjah) or AED 5,000 (Dubai) annually. The school accepts payment via post-dated cheques (referenced in the admissions documentation) and online via Stripe for fee payments. The school's website does not publish explicit information about sibling discounts, scholarships, or bursaries, so families should enquire directly. The value-for-money assessment at VES is broadly positive for primary-age families: the fee level is accessible, pastoral care is Very Good, and the all-through structure removes the cost and disruption of a school change at secondary transition. For Sixth Form, the value calculation is more nuanced given the Acceptable IAL results data - families investing in Years 12 and 13 should probe the school's university placement track record and A-Level subject performance before committing.
