In July 2024, the two charitable trusts that own Sherborne Girls, Sherborne BoysSherborne Prep and Hanford, formally merged into one charity called the Sherborne Schools Group – a unique and exciting educational opportunity in the UK for girls and boys aged 3–19. 

This merged Group includes Sherborne Schools Worldwide, a joint venture set up by Sherborne Girls and Sherborne Boys in 2017 to establish Sherborne-branded schools around the world.  

Already enjoying established and wide-ranging links, many families choose Sherborne Prep or Hanford for their children before they progress onto Sherborne Girls or Sherborne Boys. However, both junior schools continue to prepare pupils for entry and scholarship to a wide range of senior schools.
