Why Choose Sherfield?

Virtual Tour

Nursery 

Welcoming children from 3 months, Sherfield School's Nursery offers the best possible introduction to education through a nurturing, stimulating and playful environment, fostering independence and creativity in every child.

We place real emphasis on helping each child develop their academic, physical and social skills. All Nursery and Pre-Reception children have a designated person to help them settle in and liaise with parents.

Junior Prep

Reception to Year 4 pupils enjoy their own areas of the school. They have a separate garden area and outdoor classroom.

Classes are small and attention to detail is high so that the children's learning experiences are varied and exciting. Outdoor learning in our stunning grounds is a regular activity as are weekly specialist language lessons.

We have specialist teachers in Art, Design and Technology, Modern Foreign Languages, PE, Swimming, Music, Dance, Drama and Outdoor Education in Junior and Senior Prep.

Senior Prep  

From Year 5, children work towards increased academic, arts and sports success in a progressively structured environment. 

Children's talents are fostered, with some lessons taught by specialist teachers. We provide a stimulating range of extra-curricular activities which cater to all academic, creative and sporting interests. 

Senior

In Year 9, children are given guidance to help them make informed choices about their options as they progress towards GCSE's and in Years 12 and 13 they receive specialist support with their applications to higher education and training.

Personalised careers advice and support with preparing university applications are embedded into the Sixth Form programme of study, with additional support offered to pupils who wish to apply for Oxbridge or Medical courses at university.

 

Boarding

Sherfield offers full boarding, weekly and flexi boarding options. Our new purpose built boarding house, Archer's Lodge, has 60 en-suite rooms for boarders from Year 5 upwards. We encourage a home-from-home atmosphere so boarders mix and feel part of a family. In the evenings and at weekends, there is a varied and fun schedule of trips and activities organised so boarders can make the most of school facilities and the location - set in beautiful countryside, close to London and the coast.
