Sherborne Schools Group (SSG) is a dynamic family of schools offering an exceptional education for girls and boys aged 3–19, across both day and boarding provision. Formed in 2024 through the merger of Sherborne Girls and Sherborne Boys, the Group now comprises Sherborne Girls, Sherborne Boys, Sherborne Prep, Hanford Prep, Sherborne International, and a number of trading companies. Together, these schools provide a rich and cohesive educational journey within the beautiful town of Sherborne and surrounding Dorset countryside.

Each school retains its distinctive identity, traditions, and community spirit, while also benefiting from the opportunities and resources of being part of a larger group. Today, SSG educates 1,280 pupils in the UK, supported by a dedicated team of staff. Our international reach continues to expand through Sherborne Schools Worldwide, with six schools established across Qatar and Jeddah, and a new school opening in Riyadh in 2026.

At the heart of SSG lies The Sherborne Difference: our commitment to transformative education that blends academic excellence with character development, wellbeing, and innovation. Through this, we prepare our pupils not only to succeed, but to lead, inspire, and make a positive impact in an ever-changing world.
