I have a daughter at Newton (westbay). I was happy with the school last year, but this year the number of students have increased dramatically and there is a shortage in teachers, resulting in very large classes. The facilities are limited as it's really a villa. I recopmmend parents to visit the school first and talking to potential class teachers re size of class and ratio of different nationalities per class. My daughter's class this year consists of mainly Arab children and over half of the class do not speak English! So make sure you think hard before moving your child to this school. My daughter attends this scholl because when we arrived in Doha last May, it was the only scholl I could get her into, so it's not like I was spoilt for choice.
