International Pupils at Sherborne Prep

A proper English Prep School experience – friendships, full timetables, and a place to call home.

Sherborne Prep is proud to welcome pupils from all over the world. We celebrate the richness a diverse community brings – shared ideas, new perspectives, and friendships that stretch across borders.

It keeps us open, curious, and learning from one another every day.

The Short Stay Programme

Our Short Stay Programme is a fully immersive experience – no themed summer camps or language cramming here.

Pupils join the school just like any other child: same lessons, same activities, same opportunities to get stuck in. From Music to Sport to Enrichment, they’ll be right at the heart of it.

It’s the best way to settle in, build confidence in English, and make real, lasting friendships. Pupils live in our Boarding House, with all tuition, accommodation, and food included in the fees – and plenty of support from our warm, welcoming staff team.

We recommend a minimum stay of half a term (around 5–6 weeks) to get the most out of the experience. For more detail get in touch for a chat. We'd love to hear from you.
