COLOURS AWARDS

The Colours Awards were introduced to Sherborne Qatar Senior School in 2019. At Sherborne Qatar, we strive to recognise excellence in our pupils both within and beyond the classroom. The colours system is a public acknowledgement of outstanding achievement in 5 key areas.

These are: | Academic | Service and Charity | House | Sport | Enrichment |

To achieve half and/or full colours, a pupil must meet a clear set of criteria, which is then presented to and discussed by the Colours Committee, made up of lead teachers in each key area. Pupils need to also show a history of upholding the Sherborne values and school rules to the highest regard. This should include excellent attendance (unless a valid and approved reason for absence has been granted), a record of excellent conduct in school and an attitude that befits a pupil who shall be regarded as a role model for other Sherborne pupils. The recipients of half and full colours will be regarded as role models within their area of excellence and as such will be expected to continue to contribute positively within that colours area.

Eligibility for colours:

Half colours will be awarded based on continued contribution over three years (or as long as pupil has been at Sherborne). This will usually mean pupils will be considered for half colours at the end of Year 9 (with the Award given in the following Term 1). Full colours will be awarded for a further two years of outstanding contribution. This will usually mean pupil will be considered for full colours at the end of Year 11
