Durham School for Girls Joins the International Schools Partnership

23 January 2025

We are delighted to announce that Durham School for Girls in Doha, Qatar, has officially joined the International Schools Partnership (ISP) family. This new addition enhances our network, now spanning 97 schools worldwide with 10 in the Middle East, reinforcing our commitment to providing exceptional education on a global scale.

Established in 2019, Durham School for Girls has quickly become one of the most sought-after all-girls British schools in Qatar. Catering to 1,202 students from FS1 to Year 12, the school delivers the British Curriculum with a strong focus on Arabic, Islamic and Qatari values, culture, and history. Accredited by British Schools Overseas (BSO), Durham School for Girls is recognised for its dedication to nurturing academic excellence and fostering a vibrant, values-driven environment. With a culture that helps every student’s confidence grows as they pursue their passions, Durham School for Girls perfectly aligns with ISP’s educational philosophy, making this partnership a natural fit.

As we begin this exciting chapter, the ISP Middle East team is working closely with the school’s senior leadership team as part of the onboarding programme. We are looking forward to collaborating with Principal Jo Hayward, the staff, students and families of Durham School for Girls, and to share their best practices across the ISP community. This partnership not only brings incredible opportunities for students and staff alike but also strengthens the ISP mission of inspiring learning-focused communities.
