Delivering exceptional learning experiences without the premium price tag.
At Sherborne House, we believe outstanding education should be accessible, not exclusive. Our school offers an enriching, values-driven environment where every child is known and nurtured—and we do it while remaining committed to affordability and transparency.
We are committed to supporting our families. In response to the VAT introduction, we have chosen to apply 9.5% to our fees as opposed to the full 20%, which some private schools have applied.
Why Affordability Matters in Independent Education
Choosing a school is about more than just curriculum—it’s about ensuring your child is part of a community that nurtures growth, curiosity, and confidence. For many families, however, cost is a deciding factor.
At Sherborne House, we aim to bridge that gap. By keeping our fees manageable and offering financial support options, such as a 0% interest monthly payment scheme, we help more families access the benefits of an independent education—without compromise.
🎓 Parent Testimonial:
“We think the key strengths of Sherborne House are academic achievement, the development of confidence and having a family friendly feel. Lots of experiences that wouldn’t be available in a state school.”
