29 August 2009
- Jumeirah Primary School (JPS Dubai) fees updated (previous information was AED 27,608-34,800 for 2007-2008). Additional Registration Fee of AED 500.
- JPS website at www.jumeirahprimaryschool.com and www.jpsdubai.com for email, elearning, information.
- Head's name updated, previously was Mrs Mel Curtis (Executive CEO / Principal), who has moved to the GEMS Wellington Dubai School as Principal & CEO. Change announced March 2009 for September 2009.
- Current principal, Mr Stephen Chynoweth, was previously Headteacher at The Tyrrells School, Chelmsford, UK. Started at JPS as Head of School in September 2008, looks like he got the grander title for September 2009.
- A JPS concerned parents blog at jpsdubaiconcernedparents.blogspot.com looks interesting but appears to have been abandoned in October 2008 (maybe the complaints were resolved, or the parents took their kids to another school).
30 June 2007
- Jumeirah Primary School (JPS) is popular and highly regarded by British expats, even if it is a GEMS school (GEMS cops their fair share of flak from parents and teachers for being a profit making organisation).
- Most staff and students at JPS are British.
- Headmistress until 2005 was Jane Adams, after which she moved to Sheikh Zayed Academy for Girls in Abu Dhabi.
- Principal Mr Stuart J Dennis moved to GEMS World School in Dubai for September 2007.
- Current head, Mel Curtis, started August/September 2007 (was previously Headteacher at Churwell Primary School in Leeds, Great Britain)
- JPS Dubai is in the Al Safa area, between Jumeirah 3 and Sheikh Zayed Road.
- Domain www.jpsdubai.com expired June 2007.
- Fees information for September 2007, add 600 dhs registration fee. Admission fee is 2000 dhs.
