Welcome to our school website! Throughout these pages we aim to give you a glimpse into life at our stunning British-Curriculum school here in Doha. Whilst the website is a great first step on your King’s journey, we know, as parents ourselves, that nothing replaces the feeling you get when you and your family visit a school. Our Headmaster Mr Gunn and our leadership team carry out two school tours every week on Monday and Wednesday during term time and we would love you to come along.
Welcome from our Headmaster
Welcome to King’s College Doha. As you explore our website, I hope you will get a sense of our happy, caring and progressive school.
At King’s we recognise that for each child to develop to their potential, they need to be inspired and nurtured in a way that works for them. As in all schools, it’s the teachers who make the difference, which is why we recruit UK educated, specialist teachers throughout the school – from pre-school right the way through to Year 7, with Years 5 to 7 receiving 100% specialist teaching for each subject. Our dynamic, independent structure, small class sizes and excellent resources and facilities, enable our staff the flexibility and scope to truly excel in their subjects.
Whether you are in Qatar for 10 years or just one year, our belief in educating the whole child through a knowledge based approach ensures King’s students are able to transition seamlessly between countries and curricula at any stage, with the reassurance of the high standards expected of any top performing UK prep-school.
If your child’s interests lie in the classroom or through performance, artistic, sporting or charitable activities, they will be given every opportunity to shine and achieve beyond their perceived boundaries to be the very best they can be.
A warm welcome awaits you.
Nicholas Gunn, BA, PGCE, CELTA, NPQH
