Thanks Deb My question is more about good / bad experiences parents on this blog may have had at either place and not so much about meeting my expectations.... I have visited both and liked both outwardly.... but just wanted to hear some personal first-hand experiences for or against. btw my expectations are: that she is taught and cared for by professionals who will nurture her but will also have a good structured day where she will learn the basics of stringing her phonics together to read and write. It is important to me that the classes are not over crowded and that there is a good teacher student ratio. I also would like the premises to be spacious and well equipped. Im sure these are all on the 'want-list' for most parents. I would love to hear from any parents who have had their kids in either of the two places. Thanks Sasmi

Thank you everyone for your replies. I am definitely going to try that Kiara76. Lets hope they have some mercy and let her in. Im trying not to get too hopeful though coz I was sent an email last week saying "We note that there is no RP on file so if you did bring your child to school this week you must not do so again" This was sent to me even though I never even sent my daughter in! Kiara would you know if the families that succeeded, was it this academic year and was it Gharaffa campus? Because thats where we are enrolled. Thank ever so much! Sasmi

Thanks Chardfan for your reply I had a problem with my account was not able to log in the past 2 weeks! Thank you for the info on Sherborne. It was originally my 1st choice (after hearing about the waiting lists for DESS) but then I heard some horror stories of how they are really behind national curriculum and disorganized etc.... to be fair after reading reviews it seems some see it as an excellent school and others as appalling. We do have Brit Passport so will take your advice and put names on waiting list for DESS. After taking a really quick 3 day trip to Qatar I now feel like moving into a stand alone villa instead of a compound, the compounds we visited barely have what can be called a yard and with 4 little kids thats high up on my list of priorities. Any advice on how to locate stand alone villas?... they seem few and far between on propertyfinder
