Social life

Our relationship with our closest neighbour is very important to us. We work very closely with Sherborne School (the Boys’ School), through joint teaching in the Sixth Form, through a wide range of co-curricular activities and, of course, our weekend programme.

Pupils will never be bored at the weekend. The vast majority of Sixth Form Saturday socials are held jointly with Sherborne School. Girls in the Lower Sixth will socialise on a regular basis with each other and their boys’ school counterparts in ‘Queenie’s’, the café in our Merritt Centre. These events will sometimes have a live band or other entertainment such as a magician. There will also be trips to the cinema, formal suppers and open mic. nights. In the Upper Sixth, pupils from both schools gather each week at The Stick, Sherborne School’s social club, or they might decide on a quiet supper with friends in a local restaurant.
