Join Our Prep School: Where Every Child Thrives

At Sherborne House, we understand that every child’s educational journey is unique. As a firmly established and highly regarded preparatory school in our local area, we are proud to welcome in-year applications and offer a nurturing environment where children can truly flourish.

Why Choose Sherborne House?

With an outstanding academic record in results and scholarship attainment, we specialise in meeting the needs of children who may not be receiving the support or challenges they deserve in their current school. Whether it’s due to large class sizes, limited individual attention, or a mismatch with the school environment, Sherborne House provides a refreshing alternative.

Welcoming In-Year Entries

Our small, family-oriented school prides itself on its inclusiveness and welcoming approach. With a single year group per class and often two-form entry, we are well-versed in integrating new pupils at any point in the academic year.

Considering a school move? We warmly invite you to visit Sherborne House to meet our Head, Cordelia Cripps, and experience our school community. Take a guided tour, meet our dedicated staff and friendly pupils, and discover the unique approach that sets us apart. For families ready to explore further, we offer Taster Days—an opportunity for your child to experience a typical day at Sherborne House.
