Pre Prep
In Pre-Prep, they set up the conditions in which pupils thrive, helping them establish secure relationships with each other and our staff, instilling a love of learning, and laying foundations for their future. They keep in close contact with parents, using technology such as Tapestry (an online learning journal for Early Years settings) as well as more traditional forms of communication to share insights about pupils’ progress, development and successes. Children will learn a selection of songs using scarves, teddies and musical instruments; there's even a surprise box each week! Sessions are run by Amanda Slogrove a Sherborne Prep School Music Teacher. The cost is £2.50 per family.

They are a non-selective school, because they believe that every child should be given the opportunity to find their talents. The role is to help that process, creating an environment in which every pupil thrives. They are proud of our reputation in Dorset, the South West and beyond as a leading independent school at the forefront of private preparatory education. They have an excellent record of academic success, with an average of 40 per cent of our Year 8s gaining a range of scholarships to a variety of high-quality senior schools.These achievements are important and they celebrate them throughout the School. But they are also committed to our value-added performance, helping every pupil achieve their full potential during their time at Sherborne Prep.

That way, every child in the School community has a chance to shine, and they can celebrate the diversity that is at the very heart of life together.
