Welcome to Sherborne

Sherborne is an independent boys boarding school that was founded in 1550 under a royal charter granted by Edward VI. For 460 years we have educated boys in the shadow of Sherborne Abbey and have grown into a modern school of 596 pupils and 96 teaching staff. Surrounded by the bustling market town of Sherborne and the rolling countryside of Dorset the School attracts pupils from all over the world. However, we are proud that 96% of current boys have come from UK prep schools. Shirburnians follow a diverse range of careers at the highest levels and include Actors, Poets, Diplomats, Bishops, Politicians, Journalists and Sports stars to name but a few.

We look forward to introducing you to the spirit that is Sherborne.
