Sherborne School Jeddah is the Jeddah campus of the Sherborne Schools Group, extending centuries of British education to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The Sherborne Schools Group was formed in July 2024 through the merger of two long-established charitable trusts, creating a unified governance framework for Sherborne's schools. Sherborne School Jeddah is part of Sherborne Schools Worldwide, a international expansion initiative (a joint venture) established in 2017 to establish Sherborne-branded schools abroad. The Jeddah campus opened for the first intake in September 2025, starting with Pre-School to Year 8 and with plans for further expansion. The venture is framed as continuing Sherborne's heritage, with the UK-based Sherborne tradition dating back to 1550 and presented as the foundation for the Jeddah campus.
Sherborne School Jeddah's community blends British traditions with Saudi cultural values, supported by a broad co-curricular program that includes robotics, coding, digital design, arts, sports, and leadership opportunities. The campus offers facilities to support a vibrant community, including eight science laboratories, an indoor swimming pool, professional tennis courts, a martial arts dojo, a 500-seat auditorium, and a black-box theatre that host school productions, assemblies, and community events. The school frames its community as continuing Sherborne's heritage for families in Jeddah, fostering global citizenship within a local context.
