Empowering futures. Sustaining excellence.
For over a century, Sherborne Girls has educated young women who go on to lead, create and make their mark. Today, the Sherborne Girls Foundation sits at the heart of that legacy — inspiring philanthropy, strengthening community partnerships and investing in the future of girls’ education.
We exist to widen access, enhance opportunity and help the School continue to thrive – not just today, but for generations to come.
It is also about supporting the school so that we can remain at the forefront of women’s education; driving innovation and educating the girls for the future. We would be delighted to hear from you if you would like to support this vision. Thank you so much.

What We Support
The Foundation raises funds to help deliver the school’s bold and compassionate vision. Current priorities include:
| Candlelight Bursaries |
|---|
|
Providing full Candlelight Bursaries to girls with the promise and character to thrive at Sherborne Girls, where challenging circumstances at home mean a boarding education would be life-changing for both the girl and her family.
|
| Community Partnerships |
| Expanding meaningful engagement in Sherborne and beyond, together with our partner schools in the Sherborne Schools Group — sharing facilities, expertise and leading pupil-led initiatives with service at their heart. |
| Enrichment Opportunities |
| Support enrichment opportunities to nurture a community of fulfilled, inquisitive, confident women who are thoroughly prepared for higher education and their future lives, with the desire to make a difference. |
Why Your Support Matters
Sherborne Girls holds only a modest endowment.
The majority of fee income goes directly into the day-to-day running of the school. That’s why fundraising is vital — enabling us to widen access, drive innovation and stay at the forefront of women’s education.
With your help, we can continue to shape girls who think clearly and creatively, choose wisely, lead with kindness and have the courage to make a difference.
“The Foundation is focused on changing lives and empowering girls to be an influence for good. It is also about supporting the school so that we can remain at the forefront of women’s education; driving innovation and educating the girls for the future.”
