I have a child due to go start shool in Septemeber and am the same situation as Ying2210 - - and we have been on the waiting list for a good while for them all - they are all closed and most of them now fully payed up for the reception class in September and still with very long waitlists. On talking to the person at DESS she said it is due to a massive influx of exapts last year into Qatar due to global recession and now and so the prolem in likely to continue through this age group through the school system (a kind of expat baby boom!!). We have given up and I am having to take my child back to the UK to go to school there while my husband sees out his contract here.
