Sports Centre Redevelopment completed 2023
Building a centre of sporting excellence
"Sherborne is a school where boys are individually talented, but it is also a school where boys bring out the best in teams, and clearly sport is a significant part of this.
What we now have is a central sports facility not least because every boy gets involved with sport at some level and for a huge majority of the boys it's a very important part of their lives here."
