Sherborne is one of Britain’s oldest and most distinguished places of learning, its history reaching back to the centuries before Edward VI re-founded the School in 1550. We are rightly proud of our traditions and our heritage but also acutely aware of our responsibility to nurture, inspire and prepare our boys to take their places as leaders and innovators in a rapidly changing world. Academic success, inquiry and fulfilment sit firmly at the centre of Sherborne life. We strive to ensure that every boy reaches his full potential, enjoys the business of learning and derives fulfilment from his own unique voyage of intellectual exploration. At the same time, we appreciate the importance of giving our boys the broadest possible range of opportunities outside the classroom and encouraging them to develop their sporting, artistic and creative talents. We recognise that the years a young man spends at school are as precious as they are fleeting. That is why everything we do is informed by our determination to make those years happy, productive and rewarding for every single boy.
