I was lucky enough to get mine into Doha British School which they love.

I was told last year when I was trying to get them into scchool that at the start of the school year, quite a few kids just dont turn up as their parents have scatter-gunned their applications or have even just gone home. It might be worthwhile just making some enquiries in late August anyway - nothing ventured, nothing gained eh?

Every parent on here will tell you that their school is the best and that the one that someone else is promoting is not worht promoting! It comes down to personal choice - I have heard horror stories from parents about schools that others rave about - you need to visit them and make up your own mind.

From my own particular experience, Doha British School does not have the best after-school activities but we have sourced our own Dancing/Soccer/Horse Riding/Piano Lessons etc and have no complaints at all - if you have lived in th ME before, Qatar is all about what you make of it.

Hope some of this helps.

Cheers
