RGSGQ currently educates girls and boys from Nursery to Year 6 on an attractive campus 10 minutes’ drive north of central Doha. Having established an excellent team of staff and outstanding facilities the School will open one form entry in Year 7 and 8 in September 2018.

Pupils in Year 7 and 8 will be taught subjects by a range of teachers, similar in style to a Senior School.
