Our Story

The Sherborne Qatar Journey

Sherborne School UK was where the Sherborne Qatar journey started.

Our story began in 1550...

Within the illustrious walls of Sherborne School, a beacon of academic brilliance nestled in the picturesque town of Sherborne, Dorset, UK. Sherborne was founded under royal charter by King Edward VI.

From trailblazers like Sir Walter Raleigh to visionaries like Alan Turing, the father of modern computing, the school's alumni, affectionately called "Shirburnians," have left an indelible impact on the world we live in today.
