A unique education in the South West’s top town


Is Sherborne worth the hype? If you’re looking to give your children the best schooling, the answer is yes


to activities like music, drama,


Combined Cadet Force, debating and socialising, they’re in mixed groups, forming ways of being that prepare them for life. T at is the Sherborne Schools


Step off the train at Sherborne


Station, and you’ll quickly under- stand why the town is frequently named the best place to live in the South West. A couple of green and pleasant


hours from Waterloo, it’s stunningly beautiful, with honeyed buildings framing chocolate-box streets. T ere’s even a grand old abbey standing as faithful witness to the town’s history. But there’s something else


about Sherborne that’s even more appealing: it’s home to a unique educational off er that solves many parents’ schooling concerns. If you see the benefi ts of single-sex


education (and, given the higher attainment of boys and girls when


they study apart, who doesn’t?) but don’t want your off spring to grow up in a restricted social bubble, Sherborne has the answer. A boys’ school and a girls’ school,


both full-boarding and both receiving glowing reports in their inspections. Shared governance, but functioning as discrete estab- lishments, the better to educate young minds. ‘Separate yet


together’


proposition. Visit, and you’ll see pupils from both schools casually chatting in coff ee shops or strolling through town — perhaps en route to a joint drama rehearsal or music performance, or readying for a social event like a black-tie supper or unplugged open-mic evening. T ey know how to be in each


other’s company, because they’ve plenty of opportunity to practise. But they also know how to thrive apart:


in the classroom, where


there’s a diff erent focus. It’s a winning idea. So good, you’d


is how


the schools describe their off er. It’s a neat summary, and it certainly catches the eye. How about this for size? Your son


or daughter studies in a single-sex classroom,


unencumbered by


gender stereotyping or adolescent awkwardness. But, when it comes


barely notice Sherborne’s honeyed streets as you explore the town. You’ll be too taken by the schools — which are, incidentally, also beau- tiful. More importantly, they know how best to educate boys and girls: separately, yet together. And that’s worth every bit of hype.
