Blyth Academy Qatar Doha
Reviews & Information

It is disturbing to me as a parent to watch my children going through the agony and mentally painful effects of bullying at this school. It is hard for me to accept that the head of the school tolerates repeated incidents of physical and mental abuse by not only my child’s classmates but also by some of the school staff. To be fair, the previous teacher of my daughter when she was in grade 5 was excellent as a teacher and as a human being. However, and to my determent, in grade 6 she wasn’t as fortunate. She was exposed to both physical and mental abuse by some of her classmates in two different incidents. Despite our efforts as parents to urge the school administration to offer my daughter the support she needed and to provide the required counseling to the perpetrators, our efforts were faced by negligence and at times with attempts of cover up. My children tell me of bullying incidents against other students as well. I would encourage their parents to speak out and report those incidents, not only to the school but also to the MoE, as the body that licensed them, so that every relevant party takes on its responsibility.

Incompetent school administrators. Major conflicts of interest are widely tolerated by the headmaster. Misconduct by staff members treated with impunity. Outdated building beyond repair. Qualified teachers are replaced by unqualified ones. Education is not their primary purpose. Low budget facilities. Support and counselling for students does not exist.

They prioritize tuition fees over students' learning, exhibiting shortcomings in time management, teaching strategies, and a lack of respect towards kids and parents.

As a parent, I can't express enough how grateful I am that we chose Blyth Academy for our children's education. It's been an incredible journey watching my children flourish in an environment that values their presence. The small class sizes have allowed for personalized attention from dedicated teachers who truly care about our child's success. In addition, this institution has greatly benefited and nurtured my children academically in such a way that attracted our return.

The students and teachers of Blyth Academy deserve better. Blyth Management, and specifically the head of school, is thoughtless, disorganized, and incompetent. They show very little concern for their staff, which has resulted in very high turnover. Send your kids elsewhere.

I am not sure about the 5-star reviews of this school. One of the reviews is from a teacher at the school. As a parent this year has been troubling to me. Three weeks in and though the issues from the previous 3 years were covid related. 2 of my children attend the school and am shocked at the lack of facilities (a gym renovated for 2 years), just lockers installed this year. I could go on but the more pressing issues is class sizes, lack of materials, and an no textbooks. This does not align with what I pay in fees.

As a long time student here at Blyth Academy I have seen the school go through some really good times and some really bad times. I have to be honest this year the school has made so many good changes. 99% of the teacher are very kind and welcoming. The school has still found a way to provide option classes even in the pandemic. We are getting a wide rang of options given to us. The only thing I would like to change is the music and drama classes. They are not very fun and I am not given many chances as I am not good at drama.. Over all great school!!!
