Sherborne Girls

[EduCativ]

What is life without learning? At Sherborne Girls, we believe that education forms our habits. It shapes our values and our beliefs, preparing us for the future and steering us through life. That is why we are committed to providing outstanding education to every girl in our community.

From the moment joining, your daughter is welcomed into a friendly, compassionate and caring full-boarding environment where individual strengths, talents, and interests are identified, nurtured, and given wings to take flight.

We don’t believe in hothousing at Sherborne Girls. But we do believe in giving every girl an opportunity to find her niche. So we provide plentiful, diverse, and challenging opportunities across every facet of education, including rigorous academic study, an array of co-curricular activities, sport for everyone, and a shared commitment to pastoral care and personal flourishing.

Through this, our girls become inquisitive, aspirational, curious, and kind. They are made ready for the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century, with a clear sense of ambition and the personal qualities to succeed in whatever path they choose to follow.

Meet one of our girls and you will instantly discern the way our distinctive ethos is embodied. You will encounter someone thoughtful, engaged, courteous, and generous someone possessing a rare blend of self-belief and humility, who is ready to thrive in the modern world.

This is what it means to help our pupils realize their potential. It is what it means to take girls out of their comfort zones and encourage them to try new things. It is what it means to foster a spirit of adventure, leadership, and perseverance, to promote personal development in the context of a vibrant community, and to celebrate our achievements, both as individuals and as a school.

We don’t doubt that each of our pupils has a unique journey through Sherborne Girls. We would be failing them if it were not so. But they also share a common culture, underpinned by values like empathy, integrity, and modesty. And that is what we are proud of. It is what makes us whole.

Our vision is to be the leading full-boarding girls’ school for all-around personal development and academic fulfillment and to create a community of empowered learners who will be an influence for good in a challenging and changing world.

Our mission is to provide a broad and enriching, full boarding education that develops the unique talents of every girl within a supportive community. To send out into the world girls of character, commitment, and compassion who can think clearly and creatively, choose wisely, and have the courage to make a difference.
