Advice on British schools

Hi

Can anyone please advise me on good schools in Doha based on the British system. I am looking for places for my 3 kids in year 7, year 3 and Nursery to start as soon as possible.

I understand that DESS and Doha College are some of the best schools, but are heavily oversubscribed. Does anyone have kids at or experience of Compass International School or Park House English School? Any other general advice would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks

Thanks for the feedback, not quite sure where I'm going to be living, should find out in a few weeks hopefully.

Does anyone have kids at Compass or Park House? Your opinions would be valued.

Thanks

Where do you live?

Due to the terrible traffic situation in Doha, you may want to focus on schools near your home, to prevent hours spent in traffic every day!

Compass and Park House both are good schools, offering more on creativity (right brain). Try also Newton International School and Qatar International School (QIS) as these school also offer British system. Some people also prefer Choueifat International School with SABIS curriculum which is strong in math in my opinion.
