The Gryphon School is a Church of England secondary school with academy status for 11 to 18-year-olds in Sherborne, Dorset, England.
Some of the most memorable moments involve school trips, activities and events: that first time walking on stage in a big production, the intake of breath entering the Houses of Parliament, that sense of accomplishment crossing the finish line of the Ten Tors Challenge. They’re just as busy outside school and there’s something for every student with many clubs, societies and productions. They’ve sung at London’s Royal Albert Hall, and the Sherborne Abbey Music Festival; explored the history, culture and people of China, India, Italy, Japan and Rwanda,; immersed ourselves in the languages of Germany, Spain and France; skied down the slopes of Austria, run very own arts festival and won the southern final of Rock Challenge – the international dance and drama competition. There is a wide range of Extra Curricular activities available for students of all years. They are proud of wide range of residential and day visits which support study across the range of Sixth Form subjects. Although they have had an enforced hiatus from international trips they are looking forward to re-establishing these trips. No Sixth Form is complete without a broad range and depth of exciting enrichment opportunities to enhance the skills and broaden the horizons of students.
