Sherborne School For Girls

  Reviews | News | Further Information

Founded in 1899, it is on a 40-acre site on a hill overlooking open country and on the edge of the delightful town of Sherborne. Pleasant buildings and first-class accommodation. A C of E foundation, its services are compulsory but girls of other religions are welcome. A distinguished and civilised establishment with an exceptional staff:pupil ratio of 1:6. Academic standards are high and results excellent. Music, drama and art are all very strong. There are first-rate games facilities and a high standard in sports and games (a large number of representatives at county level). There is a big commitment to local community schemes, an impressive record in the Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme. Much activity is organised with Sherborne School, its brother school, and they have common term dates. Drama is run jointly (joint productions and common GCSE drama and A-level theatre studies courses), there are joint orchestras and girls can join the CCF at the boys' school. Some other sixth-form teaching is also run in common. Boys and girls can visit each others' houses at weekends and there are joint recreational activities, including discos, barbecues and ten-pin bowling.
