The care of the children and the school community sits firmly at the heart of Sherborne Prep. Events peppered throughout this academic year have been great fun, thought-provoking and brought children of all ages, staff and parents together. Kicking off with a wonderful House Bonding morning in September, with team building games, imagination and laughter; the year 8s brought a more thoughtful element through their charities presentations that encouraged all the children to consider how our school could help those in need in our local community. Our crafty and creative Community Action morning provided some joy for members of Sherborne who enjoyed the company of some of our year 8s singing, chatting and washing up at the Friday Lunch Club. We also held our inaugural Colour Run, an exhilarating way to start the Trinity term! Our Community Action group has grown in number throughout the year; we have collected over 30 sacks of rubbish over the Saturdays! We have also spread a little magic and joy for the children in Pre-Prep (fantastic woodland friends everyone!) and planted little pebbles of positivity around the grounds. The Pupil Listening programme has taken flight. The year 7 children have simply been superb with the Pre-Prep children, providing afternoon entertainment for our littlest charges. The prefects have welcomed many a visitor; they have supported the staff with plays, with the grounds, music events, art – we are proud of our busy children who always make time to support their school. A particular favourite ‘job’ is reading with children in the junior school
