Sherborne School and Sherborne Girls work together in an
exciting and distinctive partnership, offering the IB Diploma
Programme alongside the A level programme. Both schools
are easily accessible from London by both road and a direct
rail link. Situated in an attractive rural town in the west of
England and with long and proud histories, they combine
respect for tradition with a readiness and ability to innovate.
Excellent facilities, high academic standards and an
outstanding level of pastoral care create an ideal environment
for an individual to flourish and achieve his or her potential.
Both schools are predominantly boarding and are equally
committed to developing the whole person and equipping
students with open and enquiring minds. They really are
