The Headmaster

Welcome to Sherborne

Sherborne is not only one of the most beautiful schools in the country but it also offers an education of great depth and variety. We are a leading seven-days-a-week boys' boarding school in the 13-18 age group, for those who seek an all-round high quality education based on Christian principles in an unparalleled environment. We aim to prepare our pupils for the challenges and opportunities they will face after leaving school, by demanding that they do their best.
At the centre lie our beliefs in a moral society and in genuine scholarship. We are also open-minded about new ideas and we enthusiastically embrace the best of them.

We are fortunate to be able to offer ‘the best of both worlds’ by active contact and co-operation with Sherborne School for Girls and other Sherborne schools (including our own International College), and by contributing to the wider local community.

Schools should be judged on their pupils and we are proud of the quality of the Shirburnian and what he has to offer. We seek to develop the whole person, to draw out the individual’s talents and interests and to open doors for the future.

If you have never seen Sherborne, I recommend that you visit us and we will be delighted to show you around.
