There
has been a British School in Salalah, Oman since 1970. It was founded
by John Edwards MBE who ran the school with his wife Terry, until
he retired in 2000.
It
was originally based in a small hut on the beach near Al Husn palace
on a Taylor- Woodrow site. It moved to a villa in Salalah town in
1977 and then on to its present site in 1980.

The
school is now in the North Dhariz part of town; a quiet, residential
area about 10 minutes from the beach and the town centre. It is
next to the Indian and Pakistani schools and near to the Christian
churches.
The
land was given to the school by HM Sultan Qaboos and the new building
was officially opened by the then British Prime Minister, the Right
Honourable Margaret Thatcher on 23 April 1981. It was on this occasion
that John Edwards was presented with his MBE for services to the
community.
