Sherfield School

Word From The Head

From Caroline Taylor

Choosing a school means finding a place where your child will feel happy, understood and inspired to achieve.

At Sherfield, we take time to know our pupils: their interests, their ambitions and where they need encouragement or challenge. These relationships underpin an education that combines academic ambition with care for each child’s wellbeing and personal development.

Our values of kindness, courage and respect shape daily life. We encourage pupils to ask questions, think independently, embrace opportunities and contribute to their community. Through learning in the classroom, outdoor experiences, sport, music, creative activities and leadership, they discover strengths and build confidence.

Our all-through setting provides continuity from the earliest years to Sixth Form, while welcoming new pupils at different stages. Day pupils and boarders share a community where individuality is valued and families are important partners.


As part of the Education in Motion family, we also encourage pupils to develop a wider perspective and consider the positive contribution they can make to the world.

Our motto, “We Prepare for Life”, reflects our ambition for every pupil: to achieve well and leave equipped for the opportunities and challenges ahead. I warmly invite you to visit, meet our pupils and staff, and discover what a Sherfield education could offer your child.
