Sherborne Girls at 125
A celebration volume, published to mark 125 years of Sherborne Girls and the founding values from 1899 that inspire us today
Our 125th anniversary falls in 2024, and to celebrate this special occasion we are publishing a fully illustrated hardback book to showcase the best of Sherborne Girls. More than a century on, the values and principles upon which the School was founded continue to be embodied with ever-increasing enthusiasm and purpose, inspiring the thriving community that we are today.
We strive to fulfil our pledge to develop young women of character, who have the knowledge, inner confidence and resilience to bring about positive change in today’s challenging world. I am continually impressed by the passion and commitment shown by our pupils and staff, and by their willingness to get involved in every aspect of School life and contribute to our wider community.
This book brings together a fascinating collection of much-loved treasures, both past and present, that celebrate this distinctive ethos. We would like to offer you the opportunity to have your name included in the book as an enduring legacy and to mark your contribution to the School at this special time.
Dr Ruth Sullivan Head

‘In the evening the staff all gave an entertainment which was very good considering the amount of time they had had to practise with exam marking. All the Housemistresses did a Scottish reel dressed up in Wingfield’s uniform and then the can-can (hilarious) and several of the other staff did the polka.’
