Sherborne School is a boys’ independent boarding school situated in the shadow of Sherborne Abbey. Founded by Royal Charter in 1550, the school has roots going back to the origins of the See of Sherborne in 705. There are eight boarding houses containing a total of about 600 boys (aged 13-18). Sherborne International was set up by Sherborne School as a separate facility to enable overseas boys and girls aged 11 to 17 to be prepared linguistically, culturally and educationally before joining independent British Schools. The two schools are part of a charitable company limited by guarantee which has an income of £29million and includes the Sherborne School Foundation and three other trading subsidiaries all of which are based at Sherborne. The Sherborne School Group is blessed with one of the world’s finest and most historic school estates. With this comes a responsibility to preserve its built heritage and to maintain high levels of functionality and aesthetics. Consisting of over 100 buildings, many of which are listed, the estate includes teaching, residential and administrative accommodation dispersed throughout the town of Sherborne as well as extensive fields, grounds, gardens, sports and performing arts facilities.
