The whole point is that QP doesn't have any reserved places with schools. QP are oblivious to the fact that there aren't any school places available with any of the schools on their list. I can get a place at some of the schools not on the QP list, but then QP won't pay the school fee which defeats the object.

I think like everyone else I am hoping that a place becomes available when QP finally gets round to processing our visas.

But one thing I'm reluctant to do is go to Qatar without a school place for my son. Anyone else think the same or is it likely that something will turn up?
