Application Process Our busiest student intake time is January to May each year, which is when the bulk of the intake for the following academic year is processed. Places are limited, so you are advised to apply early. ADMISSIONS Requirements Application Process Assessment School Fees The essential first step is to register with us by completing our online Expression of Interest Form We accept student applications throughout the year. The general process is: 1. Complete the Expression of Interest Form The first step is to complete our brief online Expression of Interest form . This is quick to complete and is without any obligation on your part, but gives us the basic details for you and your child. It ensures you will be contacted by our Admissions Team when we next have an Open Day or run some new student assessments. Please note that the time between completing the form and being called for assessment varies enormously, depending upon the time of year and whether we expect to have vacancies in the year group you are applying for. 2. School Tour You will be invited in to school to meet the Admissions Team, tour the school, and ask any questions you might have. 3. Student Assessment All students are assessed, to ensure AWIS is the right school for them and that they are applying for a suitable year group. Parents will be notified in advance with details on time and date, as well as an overview of what to expect. Where possible, the School Tour and the Assessment are combined in to a single visit to the school. The QAR500 Assessment Fee is payable at the time of the assessment. 4. Assessment Result Results are typically emailed to parents within 2 or 3 days of the assessment. This will normally be either: a firm offer of a place in school, with a confirmed year group and start date confirmation of a successful outcome in the assessment, but remaining on the waiting list until a firm offer of a start date can be confirmed. Note we do not assess students unless there is a realistic prospect of a place becoming available in the near future a regret that we are unable to offer a place 5. Acceptance of Offer Where a place is offered, the offer is valid for one week. If it is not accepted within that time the offer lapses so that we can accept the next person of our waiting list. To accept the offer of a place, parents are required to pay the Registration Fee to guarantee their child's place. 6. Before Starting An AWIS Application Form must be fully completed, signed and submitted to the School Office before a child can be allowed to commence school. More detailed information on the supporting documentation that needs to be provided with the Application Form can be found on our Admission Requirements page .

FAQ's See below for answers to some of our most frequently asked questions.

School Day Drop off is from 06:45 and the school day starts for children at 07:05, when their class teacher takes them in to school. STUDENTS Awards and Incentives House System School Day Student Council The school gates do not open before 06:45 each morning. The school day starts at 07:05 when children are taken into school by their class teacher. Developing independence is an important component of the IPC and students continue to be shown how to organise themselves for learning. A typical day consists of 6 lessons (each of approximately 50 minutes), with two 30-minute breaks throughout the day. Children have the opportunity to both eat and play during these breaks. Classes finish at 13:45 (13:00 for students in Foundation Stage). Children are responsible for packing their own belongings at the end of each day and for ensuring all homework activities are taken home for completion. Food Please provide a lunchbox stocked with range of healthy snacks for your child to eat during break times. A sandwich, fruit, vegetable sticks and plain biscuits are all ideal. Remember to include a water bottle. Fizzy drinks, glass bottles, chocolate, nuts and chewing gum should not be sent to school. What to Bring All children should bring to school a small bag containing their lunchbox, water bottle, hat, etc. Please do not provide excessively large trolley bags, as these create problems with storage and carrying up and down stairs. Foundation Stage Foundation Stage children should additionally bring a spare change of clothing. Years 1 to 2 Years 3 to 4 Students in Years 3 to 4 are also requested to provide the following items of personal equipment: clear pencil case HB pencils pencil sharpener erasers 30cm plastic ruler scissors 2 large glue sticks A4 whiteboard 2 whiteboard pens whiteboard eraser 1 box of coloured pencils 2 different coloured highlighters Years 5 to 6 For students in Years 5 to 6, we recommend the same personal equipment as for Milepost 2 (see above), plus a drawing compass and protractor.

Job Opportunities AWIS is the hidden gem of schools in Qatar. We are fully committed to delivering excellence through an international education with the International Early Years Curriculum (IEYC) and the International Primary Curriculum (IPC). Our success is due to our team of committed and enthusiastic staff and our supportive international community. We provide a professional and welcoming work environment where all staff are supported and valued. Career development is widely available, and internal promotion actively encouraged. This is all supported by relevant professional development opportunities and mentoring. We welcome applications from inspirational and enthusiastic teaching and support staff who wish to shape lives. All current vacancies are displayed below. Please only apply for the vacancies shown. Class Teachers As a UK-style Primary school, our teaching staff mainly consists of classroom teachers supported by Teaching Assistants. Class Teachers will typically be native English speakers, and must hold a recognised UK teaching qualification (or equivalent) and with experience of the English National Curriculum. We recruit internationally, as well as from within Qatar. Suitably qualified candidates can be sponsored by the school. Regrettably, due to the high volume of applications, only shortlisted candidates will be contacted. No teacher vacancies We are presently fully staffed for the foreseeable future. However, you are welcome to submit a speculative CV, in case the situation changes in the future. Arabic & Islamic Teachers We follow the curriculum prescribed by the Ministry of Education and Higher Education in Qatar. We teach Arabic, Islamic Studies and Qatar History, in both the Arabic and the English language. Our teachers must be fluent Arabic speakers, with a good command of the English language and an understanding of modern teaching methods. They must hold a relevant degree. We do not recruit internationally for these roles. No Arabic/Islamic teacher vacancies We are fully staffed with Arabic and Islamic teachers, so are not accepting applications at this time. Teaching Assistants Most classroom teachers are supported by a Teaching Assistant. Our Teaching Assistants must be fluent English speakers, with a good rapport with young children. We do not recruit internationally for these roles: some of the positions are taken by mothers of children in the school. Qualifications and experience are less important than a willingness to learn (under the supervision of the class teacher), a genuine interest in the development and wellbeing of children, and being a team player. No TA vacancies We are fully staffed with TA's, so are not accepting applications at this time.

Assessment The school does not set out to be academically selective so has no minimum entry requirements as such. All applicants are assessed in a manner appropriate to their age to ensure they are ready for school, will benefit from (and contribute to) the learning environment we offer, and can be fitted in to a class appropriate to their stage of development. ADMISSIONS Requirements Application Process Assessment School Fees AWIS is an international school that welcomes applicants from all cultures and academic abilities. Foundation Stage For students entering Foundation Stage (3 and 4 year olds) , we are looking for sufficient social skills and maturity to be ready to leave the home environment and enter formal schooling. Teachers will sit with the child, chat to them, and observe them undertake some simple tasks. We are looking for the ability to separate from parents, follow simple instructions, and interact with others. Primary Students For students entering the school in higher year groups, we are assessing their existing abilities in English (spoken and written) and Mathematics, as well as their social skills. There is no pass or fail cut-off, but we have to ensure students are placed in a cohort appropriate to their needs or, in certain cases, are provided with the additional support after joining the school to close any gaps identified in their skills. Expectations We emphasise that we have high expectations of all our students. Given their young age, this places a corresponding obligation on their parents to model exemplary behaviour and partner with the school to nurture the development of these young people. With that in mind, the admissions process is designed to look for the following traits in applicants: Eagerness to learn . With the right attitude and determination, any student can achieve Rounded education . We are looking for students willing to work hard and contribute to all aspects of school life, including academic, sporting, cultural and social. Teamwork . Our curriculum emphasises collaborative learning, a skill that research has shown to be essential for future success. Application form .pdf Download PDF • 264KB
