About - Sherborne
Sherborne Qatar has provided a broad and excellent British education in Doha since 2009 and is a member of the Ministry of Education’s Outstanding Schools’ Programme.

Sherborne UK works in partnership with the town’s other independent schools, Sherborne Girls’ School, Sherborne Prep School and Sherborne International College, to provide pupils with an abundance of opportunities to develop their interests and talents to the full, with an education that is designed for the 21st century.

Mission
Sherborne Qatar’s mission is to produce well-educated, well-rounded individuals who have high aspirations and achieve their potential, in a happy and nurturing school.
Our Vision
The vision of the Sherborne Qatar’s Board of Governors was to establish the best English language school in Qatar, offering Sherborne UK’s ethos and vision for education within the cultural environment of Qatar. Sherborne Qatar aims to bring to the country a unique educational experience which is suitable for children of expatriates working in Qatar, as well as developing the leadership skills of young Qataris, on whom the future development of the country will depend.
The school teaches the National Curriculum of England, modified for the local setting. Sherborne Qatar holds Qatar National Schools Accreditation (QNSA), British Schools Overseas (BSO) and is a member of British Schools in the Middle East (BSME).
