Word From The Head

Head Photo

From Dr Ruth Sullivan, Headmistress


Sherborne Girls is a friendly, vibrant and highly motivated community at the forefront of women's education. We are proud to be one of the top academic schools in the country; as well as achieving outstanding success in examinations, our girls also excel in a wide range of musical, creative and competitive activities. In addition, they enjoy an extensive variety of other interests outside the classroom.

Our aim is to provide a rich, all round education enabling girls to enjoy fulfilling and active lives, have open and enquiring minds and develop the character and courage to make a valuable contribution to a changing world.

Our close proximity to Sherborne School (full boarding boys' school) makes us unique and unlike our competition in significant ways that will benefit your child. In short we offer a very different kind of single-sex education.

Open Days, Visits & Events

04-11-2023 - Tour Morning

An important step for most parents is a visit to Sherborne Girls, so you can see the School in action and meet the girls and staff.

You can either book one of our popular tours or arrange an individual visit. In both cases, the visit will include a tour of the School and an opportunity to meet senior members of staff.

If you are looking a few years in advance of your daughter starting senior school, we recommend a Tour Morning or Afternoon as an initial step. However, if you hope your daughter can join us sooner, you may prefer to book an individual visit.
