In July 2024, the two charitable trusts that own Sherborne Boys, Sherborne Girls, 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 3-19.
This merged Group includes Sherborne Schools Worldwide, a joint venture set up by Sherborne Boys and Sherborne Girls in 2017 to establish Sherborne-branded schools around the world.
Already enjoying established and wide-ranging links, many families choose Sherborne Prep or Hanford for their children before they progress onto Sherborne Boys or Sherborne Girls. However, both junior schools continue to prepare pupils for entry and scholarship to a wide range of senior schools.
For many years, Sherborne Boys and Sherborne Girls have benefitted from a close relationship, underpinned by shared values, a Christian foundation and a commitment to full boarding. The senior schools’ unique collaboration, known as ‘Separate Yet Together,’ is distinctive and offers pupils all the advantages of a single-sex education alongside the benefits of co-education.
