Sherborne School

[EduCativ]

Everyone involved in Sherborne’s community agrees: it is a special place, with an ethos all of its own. That is partly a result of our unique setting. It is as if history seeps from the golden stones of our buildings, giving our boys a profound sense that they are part of a living tradition.
But there is more to our distinctiveness than this. We are committed to providing an all-boys, full-boarding, education that is shaped for the twenty-first century. In this way, we create the time and space to nurture our boys’ dispositions and prepare them for the future. But there is more to our distinctiveness than this.

Our timetabling ensures there is ample opportunity for every boy to find his niche and excel in it. All our boys have the opportunity to pursue a wide range of interests and enthusiasms, including academic study, music, art, drama, sport, and a huge range of other activities. Their achievements will be celebrated by the whole community because we recognize that our strength comes from our diversity.
We have a rich tradition of sporting and musical excellence. Our boys achieve great things in a variety of sporting disciplines, from rugby to rifle shooting, golf to fives, polo to athletics. In music, too, we have an outstanding reputation for success. Many of our boys achieve Trinity College Diplomas and Grade 8s, and our Music School is renowned for its first-rate facilities. The same can be said of all of our other academic departments: we invest in providing the very best environment in which to enhance learning.
At the heart of our community is our commitment to the wellbeing of every member. Sherborne boys are kind, compassionate, and caring. They look out for each other understanding that their achievements are shaped by their relationships. While life at Sherborne is full, with plenty to stimulate seven days a week, we strive to protect boys from some of the pressures of modern living. They are empowered and encouraged to use technology wisely, interact with friends from Sherborne Girls, and engage with the local community.
Sherborne aims to provide an outstanding, all-boys boarding education in a community that is based on Christian values. By supporting and challenging every boy, we strive to ensure that each has the opportunity and confidence to excel. We want our boys to develop a strong sense of identity, an ability to think and learn for themselves, integrity, and a commitment to leadership and service.
