My proof is that I am friends with several teachers and families currently at the school or who have recently left. I stand by all I have said. There are really no decent schools in Qatar. It is absurd to think you can set up a British Prep School in the middle of the desert. The whole operation is a business shum run for money - a profit making venture trading upon a famous name. There are a bunch of pompous UK Govenors who have a lot of egg on their faces at the moment and are doing everything to avoid swallowing their pride. The only reason the majority of the teaching staff did not leave last year is because they were granted a 10% lump cash sum payment to basically remain hush and avoid speaking out. What more would you like to know? The only reason the school survived its first year was because of the teachers, not for any other reason. The same can be said for many if not all the schools in Qatar.
