Primary Teacher

The School

Our primary school – currently comprised of about 1,000 students – is a vibrant, fun and multicultural place of learning. It offers an engaging and warm environment, where children and staff alike are encouraged to investigate and develop their curiosity.

Alongside the English National Curriculum, our students enjoy specialist lessons for Arabic, Islamic Studies, Music, PE and French. Our class teachers are highly trained in programmes such as Talk 4 Writing and Mastery of Maths, which we use to enrich the children’s learning.

There are more than 60 teachers and support staff across the whole of our primary school. We’re a stable and long-serving cohort, and we enjoy what we do.

The Location

Doha is the capital city and central focus of Qatar. The city has a large proportion of expats and as a result is extremely diverse.
Qatar offers a warm, sunny climate throughout the year.
Expats can visit the souqs for spices and traditional clothing, enjoy local food and drinks in the streets. There are various modern malls throughout the city.
There are also many modern areas in Doha to visit in the evenings including international restaurants offering excellent food.
