Founded in 1858, Sherborne Prep is an independent day and boarding School for boys and girls aged 3-13 years. Sherborne Prep prides itself upon its strong community where all pupils are supported to become the best version of themselves. The school is situated in the beautiful town of Sherborne nestled in 12 acres of grounds with views overlooking Sherborne Abbey and rolling hills. In July 2024, the two charitable trusts that own Sherborne Girls, Sherborne Boys, Sherborne Prep and Hanford, formally merged into one charity called the Sherborne Schools Group – a unique and exciting educational opportunity in the UK for girls and boys aged 3–18.
