Boarding life

Co-Curricular Boarding life

In L6, girls are in one of our five mixed-age Boarding Houses, where they will be one of the most senior girls. In U6, they transfer to Mulliner House, an U6-only house that accommodates the entire year group. There are so many advantages to this: the sense of purpose that Mulliner engenders in all pupils, as well as greater freedom and a heightened sense of independence. It really is the first step towards university.

“Mulliner stands for independence and personal responsibility. You get to know the whole year group better than before. It prepares you for university by promoting a mature approach to school life and study.”

New to Sherborne Girls?

“Everyone here is really friendly and open and the Houses make you feel at home.”

If pupils are new to Sherborne Girls or considering coming here for their Sixth Form study, don’t worry, they won’t be alone! Each year we welcome around 25 new girls to L6. Out of a year group of around 100, that is quite a high proportion, so they will by no means be the only newcomer. We invite them to spend some time with us in late June when GCSEs are complete: our post-exams activity programme provides an excellent opportunity to meet their new classmates well in advance of the Michaelmas Term. That way, when September comes, they will already have established strong friendships.
