English as an Additional Language
The language of instruction at The RGS Guildford in Qatar is English and so it is essential that all children have a basic working knowledge of the English language prior to enrolment. We do however provide support to pupils whose first language is not English and we have excellent relationships with a number of high quality English schools in Qatar that we are happy to recommend.
Special Education Needs
The RGS Guildford in Qatar aims to support all pupils enrolled at the school to progress and achieve their full potential. We employ a Special Education Needs Coordinator (SENCo) who oversees this department, however, at this time the school has limited resources to support pupils with SEND.
Upon application to the school we ask that parents disclose all past and present information relating to SEND. Upon reviewing this information and subject to pupils satisfying the School’s selection criteria, a place at the school might be offered, if the school possess the facilities and expertise to meet their needs. Failure to disclose all information relating to SEND might result in pupils being asked to leave the school after enrolment.
