Our individualised approach to teaching and learning ensures that every pupil is encouraged and inspired to develop healthy habits of learning, intellectual curiosity and range of interests that last a lifetime.
Published school league tables do not accurately reflect our academic results due to the DfE omitting to include iGCSE results (currently English, Mathematics, Drama and History) in the school results statistics. As such we choose not to take part in published league tables. We are proud of our academic results and are transparent in our publishing of all our results which can be found below.

Pupils leaving Sherborne Girls in July 2024 (as well as those who left in 2023 intending a gap year) applied to a wide range of universities. They accepted places at 30 different institutions, with three pupils going to Oxford and one to Cambridge.
The girls will take up a range of challenging and inspiring courses including Architecture, Classics and French, Criminology, English and History, Fashion Design, Filmmaking, Mathematics, Neuroscience, Medicine, Politics and French, and Theology and Religion.
The most popular destinations in the cycle were Bristol, Oxford Brookes, Cardiff, Durham, Newcastle and Exeter.
We are also increasing awareness of Apprenticeships and opportunities at overseas universities and have a member of staff to advise pupils regarding these two specific areas.
