Evaluator Response

APG has made a thorough SWOT analysis including all the financial threats and opportunities. It is observed that the analysis was made inclusively with participation and input from different stakeholders. Financial strength of APG comes from the full support of the owner and head of board, Mr Mohamed Moosa Al Aali, who demonstrated an idealism and visible, eager support to the whole school during the governance meeting.

As it is vital to be able to assess the school's financial stability and sustainability, the visiting team was provided with evidence regarding the items mentioned in the SWOT analysis. The school community and leaders have teamed up to manage their resources efficiently and to use the school funds wisely especially during the time of the pandemic. They have also found creative ways to benefit from government funds in regards to staff retainment and professional development of the current staff.

The school has a clear understanding of CIS accreditation and its standards, and they are willing to strive towards working on the weaknesses. There is a dedicated team of school leaders and board members who are proud of the school's strengths and yet determined to work on the weaknesses in order to protect the school form any financial threat. The higher leadership team as well as the middle leadership team have been in the school for a long time, and they demonstrate a clear feeling of belonging and loyalty to the school. They have internalized the mission and vision, and their main focus is to offer quality education to students to be globally competent and competitive. A clear and detailed SWOT analysis such as this one, will continue

to assist the school community in managing the whole school towards sustainability and continuity.
