The Winchester School (Arabic: مدرسة وينشستر) is a British private school situated in the Jebel Ali area of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates.

The Winchester School is a registered international school from FS-1 (age 3–4) to Year 13 (age 18) and has over 3,800 enrolled.[1] It was founded in 2003.[2] The school is part of GEMS, an international school business.[3]

The school is located on the southwest edge of The Gardens neighbourhood and close to Jebel Ali Village.[4] It is close to the Dubai branch of the Delhi Private School.

In 2019, a teacher at the school, Shalini Rajan, was BTEC Teacher of the Year, quoted to be "empowering her students by embracing modern teaching and learning strategies".[5]

The school is regularly mentioned in national UAE newspapers. For example, in 2016, the school was reported by Gulf News to be the best UAE school for girls' cricket.[6] In 2019, it was reported that the Winchester School raised over Dh130,000 to support education programmes for children in Malawi.[7][8] The GCSE results in 2020 were reported as being 72% at grades 5–9,[9] with one pupil achieving nine A* results (grades 8–9).[10]
