I'm sorry qatardunes but I have to correct you. Sherborne school in the UK is an outstanding private school who have sadly sold their name to the highest bidder - Qatar. The Board from Sherborne have visited the school once since its opening, which wasn't a smooth one; although no new school opening ever is. Since then the school has undergone a massive expansion with very little logistal or strategic planning, anohter endemic problem here in Qatar. They are currently overcrowded and are awaiting delivery of hteir new buildings on the outskirts of Qatar and teachers that I know who work there constantly complain of the dust and dirt. One that I knew left after one year as he couldn't stand hos professional integrity being compromised on a daily basis int ehnever ending search for bigger profits (another endemic problem here in Qatar). I have children in NBS and although the facilities are somewhat lacking I have to say my kids are generally very happy, well supported and love their teachers past and present. I think everyone on here needs to be wary about posts that get personal or vitriolic and stray from the facts.
In response to the original post - the vast majority of Qatar airways pilots children attend Sherborne (they like to be a bit cliquey) and seem reasonably happy with it as a school although not as happy as they were with their previous schools in the UK and elsewhere. Qatar is a fledgling country and unfortunately teh education department here (SEC) isn't as supreme as its name suggests. In another decade or so things may be much better - inshallah!
