The lack of available places for the children of parents who are relocating to Qatar seems to be a perennial topic.
Of course, some families do not find out about "the big move" until it's too late. I suspect that part of the problem is that some schools switch on the answerphone as soon as the summer holidays begin. Even if you do manage to speak to a real person, most probably the school secretary, my guess is that you will be told, "Thank you for telephoning, but only the principal is able to make decisions about places and he/she won't be back until the end of August."
