Admission Overview
At St Mary’s Ras Al Khaimah, in addition to the Ministry of Education Curriculum requirements, we follow the National Curriculum and Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum for England and Wales. The academic year runs from the end of August to the end of June. Children can be admitted during the academic year if a place becomes available subject to MOE guidelines. SMR provides an outstanding education for children aged 3 – 18 years.

Age Placement Guide
Year Group & Grade Level Placement
SMR places students in age-appropriate grade levels in accordance with the Ministry of Education regulations and the British system of education.
The British system refers to Year Groups and not Grade Levels. This is because students are placed in classes where students are all of a similar age. Only under exceptional circumstances would a student be promoted or demoted in the British system. A student may need to repeat a year (demote) if he or she has missed a whole term or more. A student may be placed in a year group above (promote) if she or he has already completed that year in another school and attainment is at or above the expected level.
Please make sure you are applying to the correct Year Group taking into account the differences that exist in the naming of “grades” around the world.
If there are questions about the correct Year Group placement, please contact the Registration Team.
