BOARD OF GOVERNORS REPORT 2020-2021
INTRODUCTION FROM OUR CHAIR OF THE BOARD
On behalf of my pleasure to introduce Annual Report.
fellow Governors, it is my the Doha College 2020-21
The college, and the community at large, continued to face significant challenges resulting from the global pandemic. Moving into a new stateof-the-art campus but not being able to take full advantage of it was disappointing on many levels. We had, of course, hoped that 2020-21 would provide an excellent opportunity to rebuild, reconnect and re-energise the DC community, however that was not possible to a large extent due to the blended learning setup. In an international community such as DC, it is natural that parents and teachers have a wide range of views on how the college could make the best of the situation, based on their own backgrounds and personal preferences. The stop-start nature of the learning no doubt left staff, parents and children somewhat frustrated and discombobulated. In such a context, I firmly believe the staff and leadership of the college did an outstanding job of keeping their collective eye on the most important constituents of all, the students. I also want to take the opportunity to say a big thank you to the parents for their increased involvement in their children’s education. To borrow a phrase from Hilary Clinton - ‘it takes a village’. Or, in this case, a community whose efforts were reflected in the outstanding outcomes in student performance. As we return to some semblance of normality in terms of in-person teaching, it is my sincere hope that Doha College can refocus its efforts towards doing the basics extremely well. That is what DC has always been known for. The strategic priorities of Doha College continue to be focused on academics and well-being, and on (re) building the community that enables our children to thrive. To that end, I look forward to significantly increased engagement with staff and parents over the coming academic year and beyond. As a Board of Governors, we are keen to ensure that transparency, strong communication and good governance are firmly embedded into the ethos of Doha College. And last but not least, I want to thank Tim Bentley, my predecessor, for his instrumental role in the development of the Al Wajba campus and for leaving such a valuable imprint on DC for the decades to come.

The academic the completion c a m p u s , of a new era for larger school in a has maintained the and aspirations
year 2019/2020 saw of our Al Wajba marking the beginning Doha College as a different location which much-vaunted values developed over 40 years.
When staff proudly arrived at the end of August and started unpacking their boxes, looking forward to welcoming the students soon after, we did not know what teaching and learning would look like going forward. The pandemic still being with us, much of our student’s learning was spent on-line. Owing to the HPL culture that we spent the last three years creating, we very quickly adapted to remote and blended learning. As ever, our students have done themselves and Doha College proud by exceeding in all conceivable regards. Our mantra ‘Excellence for All, Excellence from All’ sits so deep in the minds of our students and colleagues that we would, of course, do our level best to achieve as highly as we always have, whatever the circumstances. With examinations at all levels cancelled, it has been a particularly challenging year for Years 11, 12 and 13. Guided by our vision and commensurate with our core values, we followed the lead of the Examination Boards, yet designed a CAG process that allowed our students to shine. As a result, the examination grades in 2020 were the best achieved at Doha College. As a Community School, we have been taking our responsibility very seriously indeed. Thinking Green continues to be an important aspect of our teaching and learning culture, so much so that many schools and businesses in Qatar have followed our example and started focusing on sustainability and aim at obtaining a Green Flag. Committed to our host country, we do not only see ourselves as a beacon of excellence in education, we have also made it our raison d’être to spread best practice in teaching and learning to other schools in Qatar. Our Education Innovation Forum (EIF), which provides opportunities for our colleagues to share best practice and learn from each other, as well as to access training from outside providers, is also set up for our staff to provide training to local teachers in the future. While the pandemic has halted or stalled our entire CCA programme and as result impacted on the holistic outlook of our provision, a myriad of innovative approaches borne from a strong desire to do the best for our students allowed us to engage in on-line activities within our house system, which has been expanded and adapted to the needs of the Al Wajba Campus. Resilience and creative thinking being core aspects of a High Performance Learning School, the strong community spirit, integral to our DNA, has been instrumental in navigating this challenging year, which was dominated by the pandemic.

ETHOS AND VISION VISION To enable personal growth, instil a passion for learning and create aspirational minds.
MISSION With the growth-mindset philosophy of High Performance Learning, we develop confidence, creativity and intellectual curiosity in a safe, caring and inclusive environment for our students to make a lasting contribution to global society.
High Performance Learning (HPL) provides our students with a powerful toolkit for the way in which they approach their learning. We truly believe that through HPL our students quickly develop the cognitive and emotional skills to grow in confidence and to fully exercise their intellect. In time, these skills empower them to achieve their full potential, equipping them with the skills needed for this within a rapidly changing world. We are proud to have been the first school in the world to be accredited with the HPL World Class Status Award, received in June 2018.
WHAT DOES HIGH PERFORMANCE LEARNING LOOK LIKE AT DOHA COLLEGE? There is a gap between how success is defined within school systems and what society, the workplace, and the individual requires in the wider world. We look to increase our students’ performance, look beyond their own geography and embrace a world-class education. We believe that High Performance Learning liberates our students as high achievers with the skills to operate and empathise as true global citizens.

After receiving permission in February 1980, Doha College opened in September of that year in a 10-room villa on Salwa Road. It opened with 85 pupils, eight full-time and ten part-time staff. In those seven months, Principal Sheila Porter led a team of parents and staff to raise funds, refurbish the villa, make desks and blackboards, order books and so much more. By the end of the second year, the College doubled its number of pupils and continued to flourish.

WELCOME FROM RUTH Doha College Primary, despite its size, feels very much like a family, demonstrating our care for one another, as well as our commitment to ‘Excellence for all, Excellence from all’. Our friendly and dedicated teachers support and cater to every child’s needs and instil the confidence to face new challenges, try their very best, and learn from their mistakes. At Doha College, we want our students to be happy and fulfilled, and we make it our priority to integrate pastoral care into every aspect of school life. You, as parents, play an integral part in the learning process and are our partners in developing and shaping your children. We thank you for your efforts, particularly during the blended learning period. Despite the pandemic, the children’s academic progress has continued to go from strength to strength, aided by our fantastic staff and our emphasis upon High Performance Learning for every individual. Academic standards are high, and we are proud that when our Year 6 students move up to Secondary School, they take with them a set of skills and core values that will enable them to confidently and courageously embark on the next stage of their educational journey.
“
At Doha College, we want our students to be happy and fullfilled. RUTH WHYMARK Senior Vice Principal Head of Primary
Primary Highlights FEELING THE HEAT IN THE GREAT FIRE OF LONDON An interdisciplinary topic that intertwined history, English, art, design and technology and stimulated multiple senses, the “Great Fire of London” ingrained the learning in students’ memories for a long time. Following the celebration of British Day, our Year 2 Primary children enjoyed this safely conducted creative experiment while working out the impact of the fire on the lives of 1666 Londoners and beyond.
IT’S A NUMBERS GAME During February, children competed in the House Maths Challenge. KS2 students went head-to-head in the Times Tables Rock Stars Challenge, while KS1 students enjoyed a Beetle Drive – hoping for the luck of the dice on their rolls! There was also a BINGO challenge added to the activities, all designed to make mathematics fun, inclusive and attractive to students. The children dressed in their vibrant house t-shirts and battled it out in school or at home.
GOING THE DISTANCE Doha College students Jack Thomas and Federico Nemaz raised an amazing £1,435 through a sponsored 100km bike challenge. This was to aid Jack’s friend Poppy, who was born with cerebral palsy and needs physiotherapy to make her muscles stronger. Both Poppy and Jack were born prematurely, and their incubators were next to each other in the hospital. The boys cycled 71 laps around their compound, which took them eight hours and 53 minutes in the May heat!
WORLD BOOK DAY The first WBD celebrated in Doha College’s new campus inspired our young readers to bring their favourite books into school. Students proudly displayed costumes from an abundant collection of book, film and comics characters during the two-day celebration, with some classes collaborating on common themes. With the library still not fully accesible due to the restrictions, staff and students got creative with ways to maximise the magic of reading.
A PAGE-TURNER Zakarya Aldeeb, aged 10, is passionate about animals; having spent a lot of time and research on the subject, he is very knowledgeable. To share this knowledge with others, Zakarya decided to write a book titled “Deserts,” which describes the fauna of this habitat in a cohesive mix of factual and entertaining information. His book can be found on the shelves of not only the Doha College Primary Library but also on the shelves of the Qatar National Library.
WELCOME FROM RUTH The 2020-2021 school year was exceptional in many ways. It was a year filled with challenges, opportunities, and periods of enforced isolation from others. Students, staff, and parents had to adjust to the changes that the COVID-19 pandemic brought, often at short notice. The Doha College community has lived up to its vision and mission during these testing times. Students have progressed in their learning in all year groups and have further strengthened their High Performance Learning attitudes, attributes, and characteristics. Our students facing external examinations embraced the additional requirements to demonstrate ongoing achievement in their courses and produce a portfolio of assessment data to enable teachers to determine the best possible grades. This has put our students, particularly those who graduated last year, in a strong position for the next steps in their lives. Teachers supported students, developing new skills to teach in different ways, and review the curriculum and assessment objectives to maximise student learning. Parents played an important role in ensuring that home-learning days were structured by encouraging their children, and, as such, were much more involved in the learning processes. All in all, our students’ successes is something worth celebrating, and our Doha College motto, “Excellence for all, Excellence from all”, really does exemplify our whole community!
“
Our students’ successes is something worth celebrating. RUTH SANDERSON Senior Vice Principal Head of Secondary
Secondary Highlights COBIS STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT AWARDS The selfless work of three of our students has been recognised by COBIS, who conferred them the Student Achievement Awards. Razan Elshazali created an inspirational Instagram and NGO called “Women of Sudan,” Vibhav Agrawal teaches mathematics to less privileged children living in remote villages in India and Nina Nair, who contributed to whole school well-being by setting up the Wellbeing Committee.
EUROPEAN DAY OF LANGUAGES European Day of Languages was a brilliant opportunity to celebrate cultural diversity at Doha College. With highlights such as language-based quizzes, learning to count in Mandarin, QR-code treasure hunts, and ‘la pièce de résistance’ delivered by student Ross Nelson. He played a full repertoire on the bagpipes, including the emotion-stirring “Scotland the Brave”. This all happened on the backdrop of many traditional outfits and flag colours.
GOING GREEN FOR MENTAL HEALTH This day, a first in Doha College’s calendar of events, acknowledged that – while mental health is as important as physical health, it is harder to address. Our school joined the rest of the world in raising awareness about mental health by wearing green and tackling the subject in class. It brought into the spotlight, the importance of keeping in touch, asking for help, taking a break, doing something that brings joy, looking after oneself and a lot more.
GOING STATESIDE FOR AI Student Eleonora Carta completed the Stanford summer school AI4All (Artificial Intelligence for All) - a three-week programme where participants engaged with professionals in the field to learn about cutting-edge ideas, such as how AI can be applied in medicine, disaster response, and combatting poverty. To be accepted on the course, Eleanora had to solve highly complex computer science problems a measure of how highly coveted this programme is.
A CHILLY READ The Doha College child authors’ club welcomed a new member: 12-year-old Zahra Sanoj, whose book “Icicles” was published on Amazon. “Icicles” came about after Zahra took the “Hello Learner” creative writing program, which offered her a platform to hone her English language skills and thereby deliver this amazing work of fiction. Ember, the protagonist in “Icicles,” communicates overcoming sadness and welcoming new beginnings.
Whole School Highlights BRITISH AMBASSADOR VISIT Doha College was honoured to welcome British Ambassador to Qatar, Jonathan Wilks, for his first visit to our new home. Just weeks after the historic opening of the campus, lines of students waving British and Qatari flags greeted the esteemed guest, and a group of DC staff guided him around the many facilities. He exchanged meaningful conversations with our students and formed a comprehensive picture of the education offered by our school.
FELIX TAKES FLIGHT The entire student body was thrilled to receive in their midst their new mascot, which they had selected from many submissions put forward by students across the Primary and Secondary schools. The falcon’s was chosen from a shortlist of hundreds of suggestions and ultimately voted for by students. Felix has already made appearances at open days and enrichment days, and he looks forward to cheering for Doha College at future events.
FRONTLINE WORKERS’ DAY On this day, Doha College thanked our nurses, crisis team and front office staff, who have, since the beginning of the pandemic, reassured parents and staff, answered thousands of questions, re-arranged student and staff attendance with the precision and speed of air-traffic controllers at a moment’s notice, and most of all protected our community. DC also thanked frontline workers worldwide and from the many likes of work that make a difference.
NADA ARAKJI MAKES A SPLASH The legend that is Nada Arakji, Olympic swimmer and proud DC alumna, brought her stardust to our brand-new sports centre. The first woman to represent Qatar at the Olympics did us the honour of being the first to swim in our competition swimming pool. Nada’s inspirational words of encouragement are displayed on one of the banners flanking the pool. One excerpt states: “Be the best you can be, enjoy the process, and you will achieve excellence.”
AN ACE SPACE Schools can be noisy, busy places. The sheer volume of stimuli can sometimes get too much for some, making the school environment stressful. Doha College opened a sensory room to help relieve the anxiety and the abnormality of a pandemic, affects both teachers and students. This space aims to reduce negative sensory input and provide calming visual, auditory, and tactile experiences to help destress.
Examination Results 2020-21 Student Attainment The challenges brought by the pandemic did not impact attainment.Staff seamlessly adapted the way they taught, gearing it towards online delivery in a way that engaged students and maintained high motivation levels. The results were higher grades, placing Doha College firmly amongst the elite international schools. Students typically take 10 (I)GCSEs, 4 (I)GCE AS Levels and 3 (I)GCE A Levels. 2020-21 grades were 99.6% A* to C for (I)GCSE, 98.4% A* to C at A Level. A summary of grades is represented in the infographic below.

WELL-BEING Doha college believes that well-being sits at the heart of everything it does with students. Each child is unique, and although there is no set level of what well-being should be, each child should be helped to reach their full potential as an individual. As a school, we aim to help every child learn how to cope with the trials and experiences they will face as they move through the school, to become young adults and confident members in the community. Students will have different experiences and needs at different times in their lives, and it is essential they get the right support at each stage when they need it. Life can be stressful, and learning to cope with those stresses is key to a student’s well-being. Some students will do this naturally while others will need more help, support and strategies to do this. As a guide to what well-being should be, Doha college follows the eight well-being indicators, which are commonly referred to by their initial letters - SHANARRI. (safe, healthy, achieving, nurtured, active, respected, responsible and included).
These indicators shown below in our wellbeing wheel help all staff to appreciate a shared understanding of what can be used to ensure a child’s well-being is influenced holistically through each area. o
Is child-focused - it ensures the child or young person – and their family – is at the centre of decision-making and the support available.
o
Is based on an understanding of the well-being of a child in their current situation - it takes into consideration the wider influences on a child or young person and their developmental needs when thinking about their well-being, so that the right support can be offered.
o
Is based on tackling needs early - it aims to ensure needs are identified as early as possible to avoid bigger concerns or problems developing.
o
requires joined-up working - it is about children, young people, parents, and the services they need working together in a coordinated way to meet the specific needs and improve their wellbeing.
