A strong school community is built on the people who care for it every day. At Deira International School, our supporting staff are a visible, trusted and deeply valued part of school life. They help ensure that our school feels safe, welcoming and well organised, a place where families feel at home and children feel confident to learn.
Administration Team
Our administration team is often the first group of people families meet, and they play a key role in shaping the DIS experience. From admissions and front-of-house support to academic administration and daily coordination, our team works closely with school leaders and teachers to ensure families feel informed, supported and listened to. Team members are hired both locally and internationally, bringing a wide range of experience, languages and cultural understanding. Whether welcoming new families, supporting day-to-day school life or responding to parent enquiries, our team’s focus is always on care, clarity and connection. | Our community is proudly international, and our administrative staff reflect that diversity. |
Site Administration and Operations Team
Our site administration and operations team keeps our campus running smoothly behind the scenes. From facilities coordination and health and safety oversight to supporting school events and daily logistics, this team ensures that our learning environment is ready each day.
Classrooms are prepared, shared spaces are maintained, and the campus is kept safe and orderly so that teachers can focus on teaching and students can focus on learning.
Our operations team takes great pride in the school environment and plays an essential role in maintaining the high standards expected across our campus.
Transport Team: Drivers and Bus Assistants
Together, they help create a calm and reassuring start and end to each school day. | For many families, the school day begins and ends with our transport team. Our bus drivers and bus assistants are familiar, trusted faces who help students travel to and from school safely, comfortably and on time. Our bus assistants provide care and supervision, particularly for younger students, helping them feel settled and supported throughout the journey. Our drivers are experienced professionals who follow clear safety procedures and established routes. |
| Cleaning and Maintenance Team |
A clean and well-kept school matters. Our cleaning and maintenance team works throughout the day to ensure classrooms, corridors, shared spaces and outdoor areas remain hygienic, safe and welcoming. Their work supports the wellbeing of our community and helps create an environment where students feel comfortable and respected. It is quiet, consistent work, and essential to how our school functions each day. |
| Security Team |
Safety at DIS is built on clear systems and familiar people. All gates across our campus are manned throughout the school day by our trained security team, ensuring controlled access at all times. Our security team supports safe arrivals and departures, monitors entry points and works closely with school leadership to maintain a secure environment. Coded lanyards and identification systems are used across our campus, making it easy to identify staff and visitors and ensuring safeguarding procedures are consistently followed. Just as importantly, our security team is part of our community. Team members are approachable, well known to students and families, and play a key role in maintaining the calm, orderly atmosphere that allows learning to take place with confidence. |
