Principal Message

A Message from the New Principal – Newton British School, Al Waab 
Embarking on a Journey of Excellence Together

Dear Students, Parents, and Staff of Newton British School, Al Waab,

It is with great excitement and honor that I introduce myself as the new Principal of Newton British School, Al Waab. I join this family-oriented school community after serving in the UK as a teacher and then leader for 30 years. These experiences have deeply enriched my understanding of education and strengthened my commitment to nurturing children’s growth and success. 

I am truly looking forward to bringing my passion, experience, and dedication to NBS Al Waab. This school is renowned for its supportive environment and commitment to excellence, and I am eager to build upon its strong foundations. Together, we will continue to create a culture where every student feels inspired to achieve their very best and where values such as respect, responsibility and support are at the heart of all we do. 

Dedicated to the vision of the school’s founders, Dr Jabr and Mrs Afaf, we provide high- quality teaching and a warm, caring approach that enables every child to achieve. In the spirit of collaboration and growth, I encourage everyone to embrace new opportunities and challenges with enthusiasm, knowing that together we can achieve remarkable things. 

As we embark on this exciting journey together, I am inspired by the rich traditions and aspirations of our community. We offer an enhanced British curriculum alongside a strong Arabic department, that significantly promotes the Arabic culture through teaching the Arabic language, Qatar History and Islamic Studies. We aim to equip our children not only with academic skills but also with the characteristics that make them good citizens, encouraging them to be respectful of others and their environment, be reflective and to make responsible choices which will enable them to flourish and succeed.

Looking ahead, I am enthusiastic about fostering strong relationships within our vibrant school community and encouraging a spirit of curiosity and innovation among our students. I believe that by embracing diversity, celebrating our achievements, and learning from our experiences, we will continue to build a school culture that inspires excellence, aspiration and resilience in every individual. 

I am committed to listening, learning, and leading with integrity, always striving to ensure that each student is equipped with the knowledge, skills, and confidence needed to thrive in an ever-changing world. We will continue to foster a nurturing and dynamic learning environment where every individual’s unique strengths and talents are celebrated, and where we support one another in reaching new heights, both academically and personally. 

As we move forward together, I am determined to uphold high expectations and consistently high standards in all that we do. By fostering an environment where collaboration and open communication thrive, each member of our community is empowered to contribute meaningfully to our shared vision. With the unwavering support of our exceptional staff and the partnership of families, I am confident that we will celebrate many achievements and milestones in the months and years ahead. Our collective commitment to excellence will ensure that Newton British School, Al Waab, continues to be a place of inspiration, growth, and outstanding accomplishment for all. 

As I begin this new chapter at NBS Al Waab, my door is always open. Please feel free to reach out with your thoughts, ideas, or concerns—together, we can make our school a place where everyone feels valued and empowered.  I am excited to get to know each of you and to make this a memorable and
rewarding year for our entire school community.  We look forward to welcoming you to our school very soon.

Mrs Tracy Dodds
