Sherborne Girls is justifiably proud of its Sixth Form of around 200 girls.

We deliver an exciting, challenging and fulfilling programme of academic, co-curricular and leadership opportunities that enable the young women in our care to access their chosen futures while making a positive contribution to the world around them.
