Hello

For, can you please help with school details. My family are looking at a possible move to Qatar and I am currently trawlling through school websites like a mad woman, firing off e-mails and comparing schools - not an easy thing to do, recommendation from other parents is key!

I had originally struck off Sherborne from my list as it is Primary only and we are looking at an all through school (seems a good idea to get your children into a good school and have them stay there - rather than stressing about getting school spaces when Secondary age looms). Also, I am being rather anal about the school having a swimming pool so that my girls can continue with swimming at school....I haven't even visited Qatar yet (that should be happening in June), are there public swimming pools in Qatar (besides the one's in hotels) where children can have swimming lessons?

Final thing, what do you do with your children in holiday times and at weekends? I am trying to find a thread so I can investigate exactly what such a big move will do to our family life.

Thank you in anticipation!
