Prep School Liaison
We are committed to developing and strengthening our relationships with prep schools, both local to us in Dorset, and further afield. We are pleased to work closely with schools and their staff to ensure they have a thorough knowledge of our School and can best advise their pupils and parents about a Sherborne education.
Heads and Senior School Co-ordinators from our feeder schools are regular visitors to Sherborne and we enjoy attending senior schools’ fairs to meet parents who are considering the next steps in their son's schooling.
Prep School Programme
We are finalising our programme of Prep School Events for the 2024-25 Academic Year. Please check back shortly for full details.
Music Events - 2024-25
We have teamed up with the Music Department at Sherborne Girls to present three fantastic opportunities for Prep School Musicians to join us for the day and experience music-making at Sherborne. For full details, please click on the image below. Musicians in Years 5 to 8 are most welcome to join us, but they are primarily aimed at Years 5 and 6.
Staff Expertise
Our teaching and support staff have a wealth of skills and experience that they are delighted to share, and we are pleased to offer a selection of events for prep school pupils and staff. This includes a range of activities at Sherborne, within individual schools, out in the community, and online including:
- STEAM challenges, demonstrations, and activities
- Specialist coaching, refereeing and fixtures
- Music workshops, masterclasses, performances, and concerts
- Art and DT workshops and masterclasses
- Preaching and speaker opportunities
- CPD seminars and workshops
- Departmental symposia
Thanks to our close partnership with our sister school, Sherborne Girls, the initiatives we run are not limited to boys only and we are always open to co-ordinating tailored enrichment events or programmes for individual schools.
Popular recent events have included Cracking the Code, a Printmaking Workshop for staff and pupils, a CPD Conference for Matrons and Prep Schools' Choral Day.
We are very happy to work with prep schools to put together bespoke engagement events. If you would like to find out more about how we can work with your school, please contact Louise Smith, our Engagement Officer, by emailing [email protected].
