Welcome
to Sherborne

At Sherborne House, we believe that the strengths of a school lie firmly in its commitment to viewing each child as an individual and to getting to know each individual very well. We pride ourselves in getting to know each family and working in partnership to maximise outcomes for every child.

Therefore, at Sherborne House we provide an environment where every child’s talents, interests and passions are nurtured and developed. Inspired teaching, coupled with a talented and dedicated staff, ensure that we deliver a broad, dynamic and innovative curriculum.

We make sure that each child has the advantage of a broad and challenging academic offer and that our strong academic results speak for themselves. Our children consistently perform above national and local averages at every stage of their education.

Furthermore we have an excellent reputation for gaining significant numbers of scholarships for entry to senior schools at 11+ across a range of disciplines. The school has strong, long-standing relationships with the senior schools in the area and Sherborne House children are always commended for their determination, confidence and love of learning.

Despite preparing our children well for the next stage in their educational journey, we also boast a broad enrichment curriculum; ensuring opportunities outside the classroom are maximised. This is most evident in the pride each child takes in responsibilities afforded to them through the many roles available to them within the school community.

We pride ourselves in maintaining a high level of contact between staff, students and parents.
