Welcome to Sherborne Church of England Primary School
Nestled in the heart of our beautiful Cotswold village, Sherborne Church of England Primary School is a small, friendly and vibrant school where children are truly at the centre of everything we do.
Our aims are simple yet powerful. We want our children to love coming to school, to become inquisitive and independent learners, and to experience a rich and memorable education that stays with them long after they leave us.
Sherborne has developed a distinctive approach to teaching and learning that places equal emphasis on academic success, wellbeing and personal development. This has made our school a highly valued part of the local community, with families choosing Sherborne for the strong relationships, calm environment and high expectations we set for every child.
Visitors to our school often notice immediately the warm and caring atmosphere and the pride our children take in their learning. During a visit, you will see:
- Happy, well‑behaved and respectful children who enjoy learning together
- Dedicated, friendly staff who are committed to helping every child thrive
- A strong focus on children’s mental health and wellbeing, including weekly Outdoor Learning sessions for every class and curriculum work exploring sleep, mindfulness and resilience
- Classes taught by experienced teachers and supported by teaching assistants, ensuring children are well known and well supported
- A school set within National Trust land, offering extensive grounds and inspiring countryside views
- Peaceful, idyllic surroundings that enhance learning and wellbeing
Families value Sherborne for its nurturing ethos, its strong sense of community and its consistently high expectations for children’s learning and personal development.
We hope that our website gives you a flavour of what makes Sherborne such a special place. If you would like to find out more or arrange a visit, please do not hesitate to contact our school administrator, Mrs Pether, who will be happy to help.
We look forward to welcoming you and your family to Sherborne Church of England Primary School.
