At Sherborne Boys, our vision is to provide a forward-thinking, transformative education that honours our traditions while preparing boys for the challenges and opportunities of the future. Grounded in academic excellence, shaped by character, and energised by innovation, we seek to develop not only successful pupils, but significant ones - young men ready to lead, to create, and to make a meaningful difference in a fast-changing world.

Our strategic pillars bring this vision to life. They express what makes Sherborne distinctive and guide how we translate our values into practice - through daily learning, character formation, and forward-looking innovation. In doing so, they equip every boy with the skills, integrity, and purpose to meet complex challenges and contribute responsibly to society.
