Why Choose
Sherfield School?
Choosing a school for your child at the moment is harder
than ever. At Sherfield they are aiming to make this process
as easy for you as possible.
They are offering open events and private
tours for you and your family to come
and see the school in action and meet
their staff as well as online and phone
meetings.
Based in Hook, Hampshire, they offer
a whole education for boys and girls
from all over the world, whether they be
3 months or 18 years. Having a diverse
demographic of pupils is a fantastic
opportunity for collaboration through
peer-to-peer learning and is one of
the reasons why their pupils enter into
adulthood well-rounded and prepared.
The school has an inclusive family feel to
it and most parents will tell you how much
their children have grown in confidence
and progressed because of this.
They have an extraordinary enrichment
programme which promotes the life-skills
needed for everyday life, develop “soft
skills” that employers and universities
look for, while also giving pupils the
opportunity to find out more about their
interests and passions.
“We have two children in the school with
very different academic abilities and
have been pleased with how the school
has approached both their learning
requirements.
The enrichment program has been very
well received and our children look
forward to Friday afternoons when they
can go ‘off curriculum’, learning a new
skill, developing friendships and gaining a
wider sense of the world around them - it
really is a great addition to the week.”
Year 6 and Year 8 Parent
In their Reception Class they are able to
offer three times more qualified teacher
time, than most state schools, which
enables them to teach two adult led
Maths and Literacy sessions per week
compared to the bi-weekly adult led
sessions in these schools.
They have specialist teachers in Art,
DT, Languages, PE, Swimming, Music,
Dance, Drama and Forest School in their
Junior Prep.
They also have a huge amount of parent
support with active parent liaisons in
each year group, a fantastic parents’
association with plenty of all-year-round
events, a parents’ café and parent’s
social media groups.
“The level of support given by my
teachers has been fantastic especially as I
know that others at different schools and
colleges have not been so lucky.”
Year 12 Student
They have two Open Events in the
Autumn Term. Their Year 7 Open Morning
is on Friday 24 September and is for
those looking at joining in Year 7. Please
note that they now have less than 20
