Welcome from Head of Secondary
Welcome to Dukhan English School, where I am both excited and immensely proud to serve as Headteacher of the Secondary School. Our school stands
as a beacon of diversity and vibrancy, reflecting the dynamic spirit of Dukhan community itself.
Our vision for all learners is built upon our six QatarEnergy values of responsibility, respect, excellence, collaboration, integrity, and safety. These values form the foundations of our aim to develop high-achieving and successful global citizens of the future.
At DES, we believe that the individual student is at the heart of everything we do. We are dedicated to ensuring every child receives an outstanding education, with a right to exceptional provision that caters to their unique needs and aspirations. Striving for excellence is not just a goal, but a fundamental part of our ethos; we aim for every student to achieve their personal best and unlock their full potential.
Central to our approach is a belief in purposeful learning; using the British curriculum and international examinations process, we utilize evidence informed research and quality first teaching to enable excellent educational experiences every day. We are passionate about instilling academic pride in our students and equipping them with personal attributes to be successful in their future careers.
Our commitment extends beyond academics, we endeavor to inspire dreams and aspirations among our learners. Our House system fosters a sense of belonging, creating an environment where we strive together to become DES House champions. We are dedicated to offering many learning opportunities outside of the classroom, as we embrace healthy competition and enjoy challenging ourselves against others in sporting arenas, debating halls and national competitions. We believe that unlocking personal development is crucial to the future success of each young person.
We foster an environment where collaboration is celebrated, recognizing that teamwork amongst all stakeholders, students, parents, staff, and the wider community, is vital for nurturing the success of each young person within our school.
Our drive is simple, ‘all students to achieve their personal best as we embark on this journey together’.
