Sherborne Preparatory School

I spent my year 7 and 8 at this school and found it OK. It was not amazing though deserves better than average. What I will say is that sometimes bullying was not properly addressed and some teachers were, to be brutally honest, bad. Apart from that I was a weekly boarder and found this fun - apart from being the only girl at times. It has good facilities and mostly good teachers. Overall I enjoyed most my time here and would recommend.

Good, solid prep school. Not stuffy like the boys school (previous reviewer). Balance sheet was iffy but not now as amalgamated with Sherborne Boys. Sports, drama, art, academics all v good. Only criticisms are that the senior leadership team are inexperienced and haven’t handled everything perfectly and also the school lacks a structured curriculum around equality and diversity- particular important given the very white British demographic. Parent’s requests re this have not been acted upon. Same criticism re diversity could be applied to the Senior Boys school. Modern Britain is diverse and the students need social and cultural education as well as academics.

Awful place. Super traditional and stuffy like the boys’ senior school. 3 heads in 2 years - say no more. Will be closed within 2 years.
