At King’s College, Doha the principal language of instruction is English. King's recognises that, for some pupils, English is not their first language and so the School ensures that there is specific and specialist provision available to help children increase their level of English language proficiency.

King's employs EAL specialist teachers who not only help to ensure that other teachers are incorporating the needs of EAL children into their lesson planning, but also teach individual and small group lessons. The School makes sure that appropriate dual language resources are provided where necessary.

Pupils at King's are set age appropriate homework activities to enable pupils to make maximum progress in their academic and social development and develop their skills as an independent learner.

Homework activities are carefully planned by the teachers and the amount and type of homework is varied according to the age of the pupils.

At King's College Doha, we are fundamentally committed to ensuring that every pupil is fully supported to access our Outstanding British curriculum and reach their full potential. Through our specialist English as an Additional Language (EAL) and Learning Support programmes, we provide a personalized framework of assistance that helps pupils build confidence and achieve excellence.

All children requiring learning support have an Individual Education Plan (IEP). The Learning Support Department supports all teachers in incorporating their children’s IEPs into their lesson planning, ensuring that their needs are catered for in all contexts. In addition, the Learning Support Department runs individual or small group intervention sessions for children who require more focused support to access the curriculum.

The College ensures that the Learning Support Department is equipped with the resources needed to support all children to make excellent progress.

The unique King's Beacon Programme is designed to stretch and challenge pupils and we strive to offer opportunities that will maximise the performance of gifted, able and talented pupils through a fulfilling and enriching education.

The assessment for children entering Pre-School, Reception or Year 1 is a small group, play-based observation conducted by senior staff and class teachers who will also meet with the parents to discuss their application and their child’s abilities and interests.

Assessments for children entering Years 2 (6 years old) and upwards consist of a reading, writing and maths appraisal.
