Empowering futures. Sustaining excellence.
For over a century, Sherborne Girls has educated young women who go on to lead, create and make their mark. Today, the Sherborne Girls Foundation sits at the heart of that legacy - inspiring philanthropy, strengthening community partnerships and investing in the future of girls’ education.
The Foundation ensures the School continues to thrive: pioneering in women's education, driving innovation and preparing girls to shape the future with confidence.
By widening access and enhancing opportunity, the Foundation transforms lives - not only now, but for generations to come. If you would like to be part of this vision, we would be delighted to hear from you.

Providing full Candlelight Bursaries to girls with the promise and character to thrive at Sherborne Girls, where challenging circumstances at home mean a boarding education would be life-changing for both the girl and her family.
|
| Community Partnerships |
| Expanding meaningful engagement in Sherborne and beyond, together with our partner schools in the Sherborne Schools Group - sharing facilities, expertise and leading pupil-led initiatives with service at their heart. |
| Enrichment Opportunities |
| Support enrichment opportunities to nurture a community of fulfilled, inquisitive, confident women who are thoroughly prepared for higher education and their future lives, with the desire to make a difference. |
Why Your Support Matters
Sherborne Girls holds only a modest endowment.
The majority of fee income is committed to the day-to-day running of the School. That’s why fundraising plays such a crucial role - expanding access through life-changing bursaries, enabling new initiatives and sustaining the ambition that defines Sherborne Girls.
With your support, we can continue to nurture young women who think deeply and imaginatively, act with integrity, lead with empathy and have the confidence to shape positive change.
The Foundation is focused on opening doors and transforming lives through opportunity. It also strengths the long-term future of the School, helping us to evolve, innovate and equip every girl to flourish in a changing world.
