Sherborne School

Founded by King Edward VI in 1550, Sherborne Boys is a leading independent full boarding and day school for boys. Sherborne Boys' unique and strong partnership with Sherborne Girls offers the best of both worlds: single-sex education with social, co-curricular and academic collaborations. Shirburnians are kind and compassionate yet eager to make their mark on the world. Sherborne Boys was rated as ‘excellent in all areas’ by the Independent Schools Inspectorate (2023). Sherborne lies in the beautiful Dorset countryside with a direct train to and from London Waterloo. Sherborne Boys has eight boarding Houses and opens a state-of-the-art new Sports Hall this year. Among its notable alumni are Hugh Bonneville, Jeremy Irons, Chris Martin, Alan Turing and Tom Bradby. ‘Sherborne Forever’ is the message of its award-winning Old Shirburnian Society; once a boy joins the School, he forges friendships and is part of a network like no other.
