Bursaries
All our boys are different and each makes his own distinctive contribution to the School. What unites them is a deep-seated kindness, a willingness to get stuck in and a quiet but pervasive pride in being Shirburnians.
The number of boys we could support through our bursary funds would be far fewer were it not for the many supporters who have given so generously to the Foundation. You are central to our ability to give these boys the chance to come to this incredible School and would for them in turn to contribute to all that we offer.
A couple of our recent bursary recipients give their stories.
As an Academic scholar and bursary recipient I got involved in so many aspects of the school. Sherborne allowed me to gain an incredible education with the pathway to many exciting things. I am very proud to be an Old Shirburnian. OTTOKAR DENHAM (m 23)

Starting at Sherborne in 2018 as a bursary recipient and academic scholar was an incredible opportunity. I got involved from 3rd form in Model United Nations (MUN). The MUN helped me build both confidence and communication skills, which translated into presenting school assemblies about the work of the MUN. A bursary was transformative and has afforded for me incredible opportunities which I am forever grateful. ANEURIN DENHAM (e 23)
