Sherborne Qatar is a school run as a business making profit. It is owned by one of the Al-Thani mob.
There are lots of problems with this school. Many higly experienced teachers left after just one year and a another teacher recently quit.
They have tried to set up a British Prep school in the desert - it just does not work. Few of the remaining staff have much international experience - most of them are snobby types from the UK with little overseas experience or knowledge about Arab customs.
The organisational of the school is poor - reactionary management.
Contact with the Head is limited.
They have a Board of Govenors made up of pompous types.
There are very few decent schooling options in Qatar and it looks like that Sherborne Qatar will never live up to the advertised promises.
Avoid for now - far too many problems related to cultural adjustment.
