Student Uniform
School uniform is compulsory for all pupils at all Kings’ schools. The uniform changes as children go through the school and is designed to encourage our youngest children to feel independent and our older children to feel a sense of pride in their appearance. For the full list of uniform requirements, and to order online, please click here to visit the Threads website. Uniform can also be purchased from Threads uniform stores in Times Square Mall and Cityland Mall.
Swimwear and Competitive Sports Kit
We have partnered with Surridge, a leading manufacturer of high-quality sports attire for our swimwear and competitive sports kits. Please click here to visit the Surridge website for more details.
Catering
Kings’ Schools have partnered with Food for Thought to provide healthy school meals and snacks to students. Parents can pre-order meals and snacks on the Kings’ App, which are delivered directly to the child in the dining area, safe and stress-free.
Secondary students also have the option to use the cafeteria, where they tap their RFID card to collect meals or purchase à la carte. Payment is automatically deducted from their wallet, which parents can top up securely via the app (Apple Pay / Samsung Pay), transfer balances between children, and set daily spending limits. Parents can also review and manage orders, track spending, view order history, and check clear food labels anytime.
Kings’ schools promote healthy eating, and we encourage parents to help us in our aim. When providing a packed lunch, please include only healthy food choices. As per DHA and KHDA guidelines, the following items are not allowed in packed lunches: sweets, chocolate, crisps, nuts, and carbonated drinks.
Transport
Kings’ offers an extensive, safe, and reliable transport service from various locations across Dubai, provided by a reliable partner Shahnawaz Group. For more information, routes and costs, please email ksabbus@shanawazgroup.com. To register, please complete the registration form.
