Where confidence grows
What's happening
Performing Arts at Park House English School grows creativity through practice, not just praise. From EYFS to Secondary, our specialist music curriculum develops confidence, collaboration and authentic self-expression, with opportunities in drama and dance offered through enrichment activities.
At our British school in Doha, students grow through performances, concerts, productions, festivals and international competitions - developing imagination and resilience. This journey enriches academic learning and nurtures adaptable young people, ready to perform both on stage and beyond it.
Step into the spotlight from Early Years to Secondary, growing through music, drama and dance while developing stage presence, teamwork and creativity in a supportive, high-expectation environment.
Discover new sounds through class music, choir and ensembles, performing everything from Winter Concert pieces to competition repertoires that showcase skill, expression and joy.
Bring stories to life through scripted and devised drama, building powerful communication skills and the confidence to speak, act and present in front of authentic audiences.
Explore rhythm, coordination and expression with confidence, from Winter Concert routines to the MOVE dance festival, sharing powerful performances together on stage.
Shine in competition at events such as the COBIS Music Competition and Qatar School Choir of the Year, where Park House performers achieve regional and international recognition.
Perform beyond campus at festivals and external events, from the Ukulele Festival at DESS to Qatar British Business Forum performances, gaining real-world stage experience.
Perform in professional spaces, including the refurbished 323-seat auditorium and dedicated music and performance facilities, designed to host concerts, productions and major festivals.
At Park House English School, music is a cornerstone of our performing arts provision. From the first notes in EYFS to advanced performance in Secondary, students explore a wide range of styles and instruments in a structured, supportive environment.
In the classroom, students develop listening, performance and composition skills, working both individually and in ensembles. They experience everything from instrumental work and ukulele to full-ensemble pieces, with many performances showcased in key events such as our Winter Concert.
Choir and vocal music are key strengths at Park House, with children regularly recognised at national and international events.
Our choirs perform a varied repertoire, from uplifting festive pieces such as The Polar Express, Let It Snow, Winter Wonderland and A Pocket Full of Miracles in our Winter Concert, to more demanding works for competitions and festivals. Through regular rehearsals and public performances, students build vocal technique, ensemble skills and stage confidence.
At our British school in Doha, dance plays a central role in our performing arts programme, giving students a powerful way to express themselves physically and creatively.
Across the school, dance is integrated into major events – from the energetic and expressive performances by Key Stage 1, 2 and 3 students in the Winter Concert, to full-day festivals dedicated entirely to movement and choreography.
Performing arts at Park House English School are supported by a solid framework of recognised qualifications, accreditations and high-profile awards that give real weight to our students’ talents.
Qatar School Choir of the year 2025
The Park House Secondary Choir was named Choir of the Year at the Qatar School Choir of the Year 2025. Competing against 18 choirs from 12 schools, our students impressed judges with their musicality, blend and stage presence, confirming Park House as a leader in choral performance.
Qatar British Business Forum performances
Our choir regularly performs at the Qatar British Business Forum Christmas Lunch and Christmas Ball, representing the school in front of business and community leaders. These opportunities give children valuable real-world performance experience while helping raise the profile of Park House within the wider community.
Ukulele Festival at DESS
The Park House Ukulele Group performed at the first Ukulele Festival for Qatar schools, hosted by Doha English Speaking School (DESS). Playing alongside students from across Qatar, our musicians showcased their progress, confidence and enjoyment of ensemble music-making.
MOVE 25 Dance Festival
Park House hosted the MOVE 25 Dance Festival, welcoming eight schools and over 150 Key Stage 2 students. Participants learned official choreography, presented their own routines and took part in a freestyle competition judged by Miss Stash. The event celebrated confidence, teamwork and creativity in dance.
Performing arts at Park House English School are supported by specialist, purpose-built facilities that allow students to rehearse and perform to a professional standard.
Our 323-seat Heather Brennan Auditorium is the centrepiece of performing arts at Park House, hosting major events from Winter Concerts and whole-school productions to regional festivals and competitions on a professional stage.
Our dedicated music and performance facilities support all ages and abilities, providing well-equipped spaces for rehearsals, ensembles and creative work that underpin concerts, competitions and everyday lessons.
