One of our key roles as a preparatory school is to prepare children for their future senior school and to help parents with that choice.
Sherborne Prep prepares boys and girls to enter a broad range of co-educational and single sex senior schools, including Sherborne School and Sherborne Girls with whom we enjoy a close and enduring partnership.
We suggest that you start considering your child’s future school from Year 4 onwards, and we as a school will make time to discuss options with parents individually. Increasingly, the senior school admission process starts three or more years before the child reaches thirteen. In certain schools, places are offered even earlier than that.
We advise parents and try to make the process of choice, application, and transfer as smooth as possible. There is constant communication between the Head and the Heads and Registrars of schools to which we regularly send children with whom we have built strong relationships.
The Prep has sent children to the following senior schools in the recent past many of whom have gained scholarships, details of these are below:
