Merger of Sherborne Schools Group

The creation of Sherborne Schools Group in July 2024 marked a bold and strategic milestone designed to unlock new and exciting possibilities for pupils and staff alike. By bringing together a family of outstanding schools, we have enabled greater collaboration, the sharing of facilities and resources, and a richer, more comprehensive educational offering - all while leveraging economies of scale to enhance sustainability and innovation.

At the heart of Sherborne Schools Group lies The Sherborne Difference - a distinct, sector-leading transformative education model that sets us apart. This approach empowers each school to nurture academic excellence, character development, and future-readiness within a shared framework, ensuring every pupil benefits from a uniquely holistic and forward-thinking education.

Our strength as a Group is founded on the principle of being separate, yet together: each school maintains its own identity, leadership, and ethos, while thriving within a collaborative community that fosters shared expertise and collective ambition. This synergy creates an exciting future in which we are truly stronger together - delivering unparalleled opportunities for growth and success.

While the schools operate independently under their own Heads and Senior Leadership Teams, strategic and Group-wide decisions are made by a dedicated Board of Governors, led by an Executive Chair, working closely with school leaders to uphold and advance the vision of excellence that defines Sherborne Schools Group.
