Loydence Academy

Loydence Academy – Al Dafna first opened its doors in 2009 in Doha, capital of the State of Qatar.

The school occupies a large villa which is situated in an affluent neighbourhood of Doha, close to a number of embassies. It has a very good location facing a main highway, although access is from the quiet streets to the rear. There are currently classes for the Foundation Stage and Key Stage 1 (Pre-school to year 2). 

The new Loydence Academy – Aziziya opened in September 2011. This school is much larger than the original Loydence Academy and offers an education for the full primary range. The school also has a football pitch, and basketball and netball courts.

The curriculum is the National Curriculum of England with the addition of Arabic and Islamic Studies as required by the Qatar Ministry of Education.

Qatar is a very liberal place to live with one of the lowest crime rates in the world. It does become very hot in the summer months but air-conditioning can be found everywhere. The winter and spring months offer excellent opportunities for exploring the desert, spending time at the ‘Inland Sea’ or listening to the ‘singing sand dunes’. The beaches in Doha are mainly located in the hotels. One has to travel outside of the city in order to find stretches of sandy beach, although the ‘Corniche’ is popular with walkers and joggers alike. It has sometimes been said that the Doha skyline, when viewed from the Corniche at night, rivals that of Manhattan!
