Beyond the Classroom
Where Every Passion Has a Place to Grow
At Sherborne School Jeddah, learning extends far beyond timetabled lessons.
We believe that understanding and skills gained outside the classroom are just as valuable as lessons learnt within it.
Our comprehensive co-curricular programme offers over 40 activities where pupils discover new talents, develop complementary skills, and explore interests that ignite their imagination. Activities run every afternoon from Sunday to Wednesday. Everyone takes part and has fun!
We weren't sure what to expect when our daughter first joined. Within a term, she had discovered a love of art we never knew she had and found her closest friends along the way. It has been wonderful to watch.

Through exceptional pastoral care within a close-knit school environment, Sherborne School Jeddah ensures every pupil feels valued, supported and empowered to develop with confidence.
Nurtured and cared for within our strong and inclusive community, they grow into compassionate, principled individuals, building friendships, valuing diversity and equipped to flourish and adapt as they encounter both challenge and opportunity.
With an ethos of character, kindness and creativity our pupils grow into happy, well-balanced young people with the self-awareness to grow physically and mentally into confident young adults ready to contribute to the wider world.
Leadership & The House System: Friendship, Identity & Belonging
From their very first day, our experienced pastoral team will care for and support each child as they settle in to school life.
Our House System provides a great way to make friends across the school and offers an even greater sense of belonging.

House points are awarded to individual pupils who show progression in the following skills:
- Creativity
