Sherborne is a School that was founded on philanthropy. From those early days of creating classrooms and the chapel through to in more recent years the Music School and Sports Centre, every stage has been made possible by the generosity of our community.
But, it is not just buildings. Enabling boys from less advantaged backgrounds to benefit from a world class education was what we were founded for. In 2024 around 90 boys received a means tested bursary. In recent decades, these bursaries have in large part been made possible by the generosity of OS, parents and friends and combined with funds from the School.
Please help us continue to change lives.
