Sherborne's Legacy
With a history spanning over 475 years, Sherborne Schools are a hallmark of educational excellence
At the forefront of British education since its 12th century origins Sherborne received its formal charter from King Edward VI in 1550.
Today the Sherborne name is a shining example of academic excellence, character development, and a pastoral education that has nurtured and shaped royalty, leaders, innovators and changemakers the world over.
In Sherborne School Jeddah, that tradition and ethos continue, marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter.
From Dorset to Jeddah: A Global Heritage —
Sherborne School Jeddah brings time-honoured British tradition, values and academic excellence to a new region to offer the finest in co-educational learning while honouring the Arabic culture, language and heritage.
From Early Years Foundation Stage to Year 8, the school offers boys and girls an enriched English National Curriculum, preparing pupils for globally recognised qualifications (British IGCSE and A Level) and empowering them with the essential skills they will need to thrive.
Integrating modern teaching methods and future-focused innovation with cultural relevance, we ensure that each child develops both academically and personally, ready to contribute meaningfully to society, and to reflect the aspirations of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030.
Part of a proud family of British schools in Dorset, Sherborne School, Sherborne Girls, Sherborne Prep, and Hanford are now united with Sherborne Qatar and Sherborne School Jeddah.
Each of our constituent schools contributes to a shared ethos, grounded in timeless values of curiosity, kindness, and creativity.
Through a balanced approach to academics, co-curricular activities, and pastoral care, we empower pupils to excel both within and beyond the classroom, growing into well-rounded individuals ready to join the modern world confidently as global citizens.
