Co-Curricular at Sherborne Boys
|
Fuel for mind, body, and soul. At Sherborne Boys, we believe education goes far beyond the classroom. Our full boarding model allows us to offer a rich and varied co-curricular programme that helps boys grow in confidence, explore new interests, and discover passions that last a lifetime. A Culture of PossibilitySherborne teachers believe that if a boy shows interest in something, it’s worth encouraging. |
That philosophy runs through every club and society we offer – from chess to choir, rewilding to robotics. Our co-curricular programme doesn't just add colour to School life – it shapes character, unlocks potential and prepares boys to engage fully with the world around them. |
Clubs & Societies
From brass band to barbell club, coding to ceramics, debating to Dungeons & Dragons – boys at Sherborne have access to an evolving menu of activities tailored to their interests.
Creative minds can explore visual arts, design technology, radio broadcasting, creative writing, drama and music. Curious thinkers might enjoy philosophy club, the Cecil Society, Model United Nations, or Oxbridge discussions. Sport, service and outdoor challenge are equally represented, from CCF and water polo to gardening, golf and the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award.

Trips & Enrichment
Nothing compares to the impact of first-hand experience.
At Sherborne, trips are woven into the co-curricular life of the School – enriching the curriculum, expanding horizons and creating memories that last a lifetime.
Curriculum-related trips are carefully timetabled, and societies regularly take their activities beyond the classroom.
Boys might perform jazz in the Caribbean, study Renaissance art in Florence, visit a First World War battlefield, or tour Australia on a rugby tour. These moments inspire reflection, foster independence and fuel a genuine love of learning.
