Prep School Liaison
We are committed to developing and strengthening our relationships with prep schools, both local to us in Dorset, and further afield. We are pleased to work closely with schools and their staff to ensure they have a thorough knowledge of our School and can best advise their pupils and parents about a Sherborne education.
Heads and Senior School Co-ordinators from our feeder schools are regular visitors to Sherborne and we enjoy attending senior schools’ fairs to meet parents who are considering the next steps in their son's schooling.
Matrons' Conference - Friday 7 March 2025
In today's digital world, students are increasingly exposed to online threats, including cyberbullying, harmful gaming content, data privacy, and sophisticated digital manipulations such as deepfakes. The conference aims to equip pastoral staff with the knowledge and strategies necessary to safeguard students from these dangers and promote responsible digital behaviour. This one-day event will be a great opportunity to meet with colleagues from a wide range of schools, offering the opportunity to discuss and share best practice to support the pupils in our care.
