Renowned for its music, drama, sport, and co-curricular breadth, Sherborne Prep encourages pupils to be courageous, to try new things, discover their passions, and grow in confidence.

Around half of its pupils achieve scholarships to leading independent senior schools—proof of a nurturing environment where children are supported to become the very best version of themselves.
