- Updated fees information not supplied.
20 February 2011
- Principal's name updated to Mrs Ranju Anand (was previously Vice Principal). Previous head was Mr Raminder Singh Vig (date of change not supplied) (Mr Vig is now Deputy Principal?). GEMS information has both as principal, and both as vice-principal depending on where you look, or Mrs Anand might be Acting Principal?
- January 2011 newsletter to parents has Mrs Ranju Anand as Principal, and Mrs Norma Lea as Acting Vice-Principal.
23 September 2008
- Tuition fees assumed to be for 2008-2009 (not confirmed), unchanged from 2007-2008. KHDA information is that TWS requested a 60% increase in tuition fees but was not eligible as they'd already had 16% increase for 2007-2008.
- Location is The Gardens near Ibn Battuta shopping mall, sometimes called The Jebel Ali Gardens, or The Gardens Jebel Ali. Not so far away from Discovery Gardens (across the road in fact) but is a different development.
08 February 2007
- The Winchester School (TWS) will eventually be K-12.
- TWS is a GEMS school, see also the list of other GEMS schools.
- TWS is different from the Westminster School Dubai in Ghusais, and the Wellington School Dubai (both also GEMS schools).
- 7 Days (a Dubai newspaper) on 10 January 2007 reported that a teacher was suspended from The Winchester School for tying up and gagging a grade 3 student. There was a good deal of controversy with a mixture of stories and letters from parents to the paper with one version apparently from the student in question claiming the class was just horsing around and the whole thing got blown all out of proportion. This came shortly after controversy over GEMS wanting to increase school fees up to 70% (in the end they backed down). More in the discussion topic.
