Repton School Dubai responded on Twitter  and said, “Thank you for spreading awareness about bullying, this behaviour is certainly unacceptable. We can confirm these students are not from Repton. Senior Leaders are trying to find out where this incident has occurred. In the meantime could you please remove the tweet with our name?"

The Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) said, “We agree, this is unacceptable. Has the school been made aware of this? Please can you DM us details of the school, grade, and students' names, or any other details you may have. Thank you."

A user named Alia said, “@KHDA this is ‘GEMS world academy school Dubai’ ! This is not acceptable at all you should deal with it as soon as possible! Actions should be taken!"

GEMS Education spokesperson said, “We are aware of an earlier incident at one of our schools and can confirm that appropriate action has already been taken in accordance with our safeguarding policy. The school acted promptly to investigate and resolve the issue and we will continue to prioritise the safety, security and well-being of all our students.”
