I may be coming to Qatar in the near future with my wife and two children and wondered how bad the waiting lists for UK cirriculum schooling was. Does it matter what company you work for? ie- is there company specific schools or is it all open. Any replies would be welcomed.
Obtaining a place for your child at school is one of the biggest headcahes for any expat here, and indeed in the Gulf. All British schools have very long waiting lists. Doha College and Park House have closed their lists for 2008 . Some companies reserve a block of places at schools for future employees. For the rest one is free to chose your school.
The situation is dire. I will go so far as to say unless you have secured places for your children, do not even sign the contract.Two new schools are opening in September whch may have some openings- London International School , and another one called Debakey.Good luck.

I have read all the comments about schools and it seems though that this process is easier once you are actually in Doha. Any comments on this path.
