Prep School Portal

Supporting prep schools to guide families through the Sherborne Boys journey

A warm welcome to our Prep School Portal. This space is designed to support prep school staff as they guide families through Sherborne Boys’ admissions process. You’ll find everything from reference forms and scholarship details, to key admissions dates and upcoming liaison events.

We value strong, collaborative relationships with our feeder schools – both here in Dorset, and across the UK.

Strong Relationships with Prep Schools

On this page, we share information to help ensure that prep school Heads and staff are fully informed about what Sherborne Boys offers, and how to advise families considering a place here.

We regularly welcome Heads and Senior School Coordinators to Sherborne Boys and enjoy visiting schools and attending senior school fairs. Our aim is to work closely with you, providing a clear and personalised route

Staff Expertise

Our teaching and support staff bring a wealth of experience across academic, pastoral, creative, and sporting disciplines – and we are always delighted to share that expertise with prep school pupils and staff.

Each year, we offer a broad programme of events, hosted at Sherborne Boys, in schools, out in the community, and online.

Opportunities include:
  • STEAM challenges and hands-on demonstrations
  • Music workshops, masterclasses, and performances
  • Art and DT sessions for pupils and staff
  • Sports coaching, refereeing, and fixtures
  • Preaching and speaking engagements
  • CPD seminars and departmental symposia

Thanks to our close partnership with Sherborne Girls, many of these events are co- educational. We also work closely with individual prep schools to create bespoke experiences. Recent highlights include Cracking the Code, a Printmaking Workshop, a CPD Conference for Matrons, and our popular Prep Schools’ Choral Day.

To explore how we can work with your school, please contact Louise Smith, Engagement Officer.
