The Sheffield Private School
The Sheffield Private School (TSPS) is a co-educational British curriculum school located in Al Nahda, Dubai, established in 2004 and owned by Britus Education. The school offers the English National Curriculum from FS1 through Year 13, with IGCSE, A-Level, and BTEC qualifications. Rated Good by KHDA for 2023-2024 with Very Good ratings in wellbeing, the school has progressively improved from Acceptable (2008-2015) to Good (2016-2024). TSPS features a High Performance Learning programme, an Ultra Curriculum enrichment programme, and a House System. The campus includes a large covered five-lane swimming pool with a separate learner pool, AstroTurf football and hockey pitches, covered netball courts, a multi-purpose auditorium, three ICT suites, and a well-resourced library. The school emphasises being affordable, inclusive, and diverse, with medical facilities including permanent nurses and a full-time doctor connected with Dubai Health Authority.
Fees for 2026/2027, per year group. Excludes registration, uniform, and transport.
The figures shown are annual tuition and match the fees the regulator has approved. The school's own fee page is still headed for the previous academic year, 2025-26, and it publishes no 2026-27 schedule of its own; Dubai froze private school fees for 2026-27, so an unchanged figure is expected rather than out of date. The school prices in five bands rather than per year group, so Years 1 to 6 all share one fee, as do Years 7 to 9, Years 10 to 11 and Years 12 to 13. A compulsory book fee is charged on top every year, covering textbooks, exercise books and online resources: AED 485 in Foundation Stage, AED 912 in Years 1 to 2, AED 1,215 in Years 3 to 6, AED 1,519 in Years 7 to 11 and AED 1,823 in Years 12 to 13, with the last two bands spread across the two years rather than charged in full at the start. Tuition is paid as a deposit on acceptance followed by three termly payments. The only reduction is a sibling discount, which the eldest child never receives: 5 per cent for a second child, rising to 15 per cent for a third, 25 per cent for a fourth and 30 per cent for a fifth. Tuition excludes external examinations, uniform, transport, extra-curricular activities and trips.
