Creating a Community of Informed and Involved Parents
In tune with Fortes Education’s ethos of providing the best and most holistic education, Regent polices are driven by the need to ensure the optimum mental and physical growth of students and satisfaction of parents. Along with exceptional education, we also provide excellent facilities for catering, transport, uniforms and parent engagement that aid the delivery of education in the best possible way.
We encourage developing healthy eating habits among children. Towards this end, we have partnered with Master Cook, the catering experts, to make bespoke and nutritious catering menus and meal programmes for our children. They can also opt for pre-packaged food in environment-friendly packs. We also provide Grab & Go snacks for them.
Menu and Pricing
Keeping in mind the varied preferences and diverse cultures, our menu offers a wide range of options at an affordable price of AED 24.15 including VAT. The nut-free menu is designed with dietary restrictions in mind. Parents can access the weekly menu via our parent communication portal, VLE by clicking on ‘Catering’.
Health & Safety
Master Cook takes robust safety measures in their kitchens, ensuring that all food is prepared with a Safety Ambassador to monitor quality and hygiene. All Dubai Municipality protocols are strictly followed in the preparation of meals.
How to book meals for your child?
For EYFS and Primary students, parents can book their child’s pre-packed lunch meal online, by following the steps below.

Step 2: The ‘Catering’ link will redirect to our caterer, Master Cook’s booking link where EYFS and Primary parents can select one of our 5 main dishes of the day, which gives the parents a choice of 90 options over the 4-week ordering period.

Regent fosters a strong Parent Engagement Programme making them an integral part of the community and actively encouraging their involvement in all aspects of school life. We invite parents to join the Friends of Regent International School (FRIS), a platform that enables them to participate in their child’s education and activities at school.
The Purpose of the Committee
FRIS is primarily a fund-raising and events organisation that aims to promote goodwill and increase parental interaction with the school, and to support it in specific FRIS events. To participate in FRIS, please send e-mail to fris1@forteseducation.com.
Our Governance Committee, Regent International School Advisory Council (RISAC) comprises the Board of Directors (BOD) and an Advisory Council.
The Advisory Council includes all stakeholders such as parents, teachers and senior leaders. This body meets three to four times a year and provides regular inputs to the Board. The Advisory Council’s role is to support the continuous improvement of the school and ensure the school leadership’s accountability towards the quality of education delivered.
Sub-committees have also been created to enable parents and leaders to evaluate key aspects of provision in more detail. Sub-committees focus on key areas including: Inclusion, Child Protection, Safeguarding, Health & Safety, Learning and Teaching, Attainment and Progress, Leadership, and Professional Development.
